G. Will my hand always activate the chain brake during a kickback
No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard forward. If your hand only lightly touches the
front guard or slips over it, the force may not be enough to trigger the chain brake. You should
also maintain a firm grip on the chain saw handles while working. If you do experience a
kickback, your hand may never leave the front handle and will not activate the chain brake, or
the chain brake will only activate after the saw has swung around a considerable distance. In
such instances, the chain brake might not have enough time to stop the saw chain before it
touches you.
There are also certain positions in which your hand cannot reach the front hand guard to activate
the chain brake; for example, when the saw chain is held in falling position.
Will my inertia activated chain brake always activate during kickback in the event of a
kickback?
No. First your brake must be in working order. Testing the brake, which is a simple technique,
is recommended before you begin each work session. Second the kickback must be strong
enough to activate the chain brake. If the chain brake is too sensitive, it would activate all the
time, which would be a nuisance.
Will my chain brake always protect me from injury in the event of a kickback
?
No. First, the chain brake must be in working order to provide the intended protection. Second,
it must be activated during the kickback as described above to stop the saw chain. Third, the
chain brake may be activated, but if the bar is too close to you the brake might not have enough
time to slow down and stop the chain before the chain saw hits you.
H. General rules
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us! See
instructions under the heading Technical data
Keep the chain’s cutting t
eeth properly sharpened!
Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A
damaged or badly sharpened chain increases the risk of
accidents
Maintain the correct depth gauge setting!
Follow our instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of Kickback.
Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack it is
more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on the bar,
chain and drive sprocket.
