CAUTION: The engine must be switched off before the chain brake is released.
To release brake, pull up the front guard toward the front handle till “click” sound is heard.
Check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full throttle for 1-2
seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The chain should stop immediately with
the engine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does not stop, have the brake band
and clutch drum replaced or serviced before using the chain saw.
It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked for proper operation before each
use and that the chain is sharp. Removal of the safety devices, inadequate maintenance, or
incorrect replacement of the bar or chain may increase the risk of serious personal injury due
to kickback.
CHAIN CATCH BOLT
The chain saw is fitted with a chain catch bolt (Fig.4). Should the chain break when the saw is in
use, the chain bolt will catch the loose chain end and thus prevent injury to the operator’s hand.
