OPERATE
CHECK CHAIN BRAKE
This machine is equipped with a chain-brake that will
immediately disable the chain upon the occurrence of
kickback during cutting. The brake is automatically operated
by inertia forces, which act on the weight fitted inside the
front guard. This brake can also be operated manually
with the front guard pushed forward to the guide bar. To
disengage the chain-brake, pull it back until it touches the
front handle.

b= brake engage
IMPORTANT!
Be sure to confirm brake operation
every time you use the machine and periodically
during the period of use.
HOW TO CONFIRM IF THE CHAIN BRAKE IS FUNCTIONING
CORRECTLY
1. Turn off the engine and leave until cold.
2. With the chainsaw on a flat surface and the chain tensioned
correctly, engage the chain-brake by pushing it forward until an
audible click is heard. Then, wearing protective gloves, attempt
to move the chain by hand in the direction of normal rotation
if this is not possible the chain brake has been engaged. If the
brake is engaged when the chain is rotating at high speed for
extended periods of time this can cause damage to the clutch
or for it to fail completely. When the brake is activated whilst
cutting, immediately release it having first released the throttle
lever and set the chainsaw swtich to “O”.Call service center to
for more help.
