5.2 THROTTLE LOCK BUTTON

The throttle lock button (Fig. 9.B) allows the
throttle trigger lever to be used (Fig. 9.A).

5.3 CHAIN BRAKE

This is a safety braking system that blocks
the chain movement when kickback occurs
during cutting. Kickbacks occur following an
irregular contact of the tip of the bar, with a
rapid upward movement of the bar that causes
the hand to strike the front guard (Fig. 1.D)
It must be manually released to
disengage the chain brake.
Chain brake engaged.
This is achieved when the
front hand guard is pushed
all the way forward.
Chain brake disengaged. This
is achieved when the front hand
guard is pulled all the way back,
towards the machine body,
until it clicks into position.
Do not use the machine if the chain
brake does not function correctly and
have it inspected by your dealer.
