Chain brake test
The following functional check should be carried out before each
use. The purpose of the chain brake test is to reduce the possibility
of injury due to kickback.
> Make sure the chain brake (2) is disengaged. Disengage the
chain brake (2) by pulling it back towards the front handle (1) (Fig.
16).
> Place the product on any suitable flat surface, make sure the saw
chain (4) is not touching the surface or other objects and connect
it to the power supply as described.
> Grasp the front handle (1) with your
left hand. Your thumb and fingers
should encircle the handle. Grasp
the rear handle (18) with your right
hand. Your thumb and fingers
should encircle the handle (Fig.
18).
> Press the lock-off button (16) with
your right thumb, then fully squeeze
in the on/off switch (17) with your
index finger and hold it in position.
> While the motor is running, activate the chain brake (2) by moving
your left hand forward against the chain brake (2). The saw chain
(4) and motor should stop immediately.
NOTE: The motor will not start if the chain brake is in the
engaged position.
WARNING! If the saw chain and motor fail to stop when
the chain brake is engaged, take the product to the nearest
authorised dealer or service centre! Do not use the product if
the chain brake is not working properly!
The chain brake should not be used for starting and stopping
the product during normal operation!
