The chain brake must be engaged when the chain
saw is started to prevent the saw chain from rotating
.
Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when
starting and when moving over short distances, to
reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting
your leg or anyone or anything close by.
To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard
backwards, towards the front handle.
Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most
kickbacks are minor and do not always activate the
chain brake. If this happens, you should hold the
chain saw firmly and not let go.
The way the chain brake is activated, either manually
or automatically by the inertia release mechanism,
depends on the force of the kickback and the position
of the chainsaw in relation to the object that the
kickback zone of the bar strikes.
If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone
of the bar is farthest away from you the chain brake
is designed to be activated by the inertia in the
kickback direction
If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of
the bar is closer to you the chain brake is designed
to be activated manually by the movement of your
left hand.
If the felling position the left hand is in a position that
makes the manual activation of the chain brake
impossible. With this type of grip, that is when the left
hand is placed so that it cannot affect the movement
of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be
activated by the inertia action.
