CHAIN BRAKE
The chain brake is a device which stops the chain instantaneously if the chain saw
recoils due to kickback. Please regular test the chain brake.
Normally, the brake is activated automatically by inertial force. It can also be activated
manually by pushing the brake lever (Front handle guard) down toward the front.
When the brake operates, a white cone pops up
from the base of the brake lever.

(4) Front handle guard
To release brake, pull up the front handle guard
toward the rear handle till ―click‖ sound is heard.
When the brake operates, release the throttle
lever to slow down the engine speed. Continuous
operation with the brake engaged will generate
heat from the clutch and may cause trouble.
Be sure to confirm brake operation on the daily
inspection.
How to confirm:
1) Turn off the engine.
2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your hand from the front handle, hit the
tip of the guide bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confirm brake operation.
Operating level varies by bar size.
In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer inspection and repairing.
■ Stopping engine
1. Release the throttle trigger to allow the engine
idling for a few minutes.
2. Set
the switch to the ―O‖ (STOP) position.
