When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but
use a wedge or a lever to open the way.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in the event of
kickback if operating properly. You must check the chain
brake operation before each usage by running the saw at
full the throttle for 1-2seconds 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, replace the brake band and clutch drum
before use.
It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked
for proper operation before each use and that the chain
be sharp in order to maintain the kickback safety level of
this saw. 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.
