Chain Brake
This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to stop the saw chain rotation upon the
occurrence of kickback during saw cutting. The brake is automatically operated by inertial force,
which acts on the weight fitted inside the front guard.
The brake can also be operated manually by pushing the chain brake forward towards the guide
bar. To release the brake, pull back the chain brake (4) toward the rear handle (1) until a “click”
sound is heard (2).
How to check:
You must check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full throttle
for 1-2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard (4) forward (3).
The chain should stop immediately with the engine at full speed.
If the chain is slow to stop or does not stop, replace the brake band and clutch drum before use.
Always follow the safety regulations:
The chainsaw must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of material.
Vibrations and kick-back vary with different materials and the requirements of the safety
regulations would not be met. Do not use the chainsaw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting
objects. The saw should cut easily without force. Apply only light pressure while running the
engine at full throttle.
When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge
or a lever to sufficiently open the gap in the wood.
