Chain brake is activated by front
hand guard
:
When the hand guard is pushed
toward the bar nose by the left hand
or by inertia in certain kickback
situations.
The chain is brought to a standstill and
locked in position.
Disengaging the chain brake
:
Pull the hand guard toward the front
handle.
The chain brake is activated by
the inertia of the front hand guard
if the kickback force of the saw is high
enough.
The hand guard is accelerated toward
the bar nose – even if your left hand is
not behind the hand guard, e.g. during
felling cut.
The chain brake will operate only if the
hand guard has not been modified in any
way.
