Setting the Chain Brake (Fig. K)
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain braking system which
will stop the chain quickly in case of kickback.
1. Remove the battery from the tool.
2. To engage the chain brake, push the chain brake/front hand
guard

forward until it clicks into place.
3. Pull the chain brake/front hand guard

towards the front
handle
13
into the “set” position as shown in Fig. K.
4. The tool is now ready to use.
nOTE:
In the event of kickback, your left hand will come in
contact with the front guard, pushing it forward, toward the
workpiece. This will stop the tool.
Testing the Chain Brake (Fig. A, K)
Test the chain brake before every use to make sure it
operates correctly.
1. Place the tool on a flat, firm surface. Make sure the saw
chain

is clear of the ground.
2. Grip the tool firmly with both hands and turn the chain
saw on.
3. Rotate your left hand forward around the front handle
13
so the back of your hand comes in contact with the chain
brake/front hand guard

and push it forward, toward the
workpiece. The saw chain should stop immediately.
nOTE:
If saw does not stop immediately, stop use of tool and
bring it to an authorized service center nearest you.
