Pull the front hand guard rearward to disengage the
chain brake.
How the chain brake is engaged is in relation to the
force of the kickback and the position of the product. If
you get an intense kickback while the kickback zone is
farthest away from you, the chain brake engages by
the inertia release. If the kickback is small or the
kickback zone is nearer you, the chain brake engages
manually by your left hand.
Use the chain brake as a parking brake when you start
the product and when you move short distances. This
decreases the risk that you or a person near you
touches the saw chain.
A kickback can be very sudden and intense. Most
kickbacks are small and do not always engage the
chain brake. If a kickback occurs when you use the
product, hold tightly around the handles and do not let
go.
The front hand guard also decreases the risk to touch
the saw chain if your hand lets go of the front handle.
In the felling position you cannot engage the chain
brake manually. The chain brake can in this position
only be engaged by the inertia release mechanism.
