PREPARE
CHAIN BRAKE MECHANICAL TEST
WARNING!
The purpose of the chain brake is to reduce the
possibility of injury due to kickback; however, it
cannot provide the intended measure of protection if
the saw is operated carelessly.
Always test the chain brake before using your saw
and periodically while on the job.
Your chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake that reduces
possibility of injury due to kickback. The brake is activated
if pressure is applied against the brake lever when, as in
the event of kickback, the operator’s hand strikes the lever.
When the brake is actuated, chain movement stops abruptly.
To test the chain brake
a. The Chain brake is
DISENGAGED
(chain can move) when
the
BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACK AND LOCKED.
b. The chain brake is
ENGAGED
(the chain is locked)
when the brake lever is pushed forward. It should not be
possible to move the chain.
NOTE!
The brake lever should snap into both
positions. If this is not the case do not use your saw.
