2. THE CHAIN BRAKE (See Fig. G)
The chain brake lever is a safety mechanism activated through the front hand guard when
kickback occurs. The chain stops immediately.
The following function check should be carried out at regular intervals.
1. Manual chain brake: push front hand guard forward (position 2) and try starting the
chainsaw. The chainsaw must not start. To deactivate the kickback brake, pull hand
guard backwards (position 1), and release on/off switch. (See component list for switch
on and off locations.)
2. Automatic chain brake: release the on/off switch to activate chain brake automatically.
3. CUTTING
(1) Install the battery pack into the machine.
(2) Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying on the ground. This will keep the chain
from touching the ground as it cuts through the log.
Touching the ground while the chain is moving is dangerous and will dull the chain.
(3) Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand to grip front handle and right hand to
grip rear handle. Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles.
