Auto-Stop Chain Brake - Famastil F-POWER Manual De Instrucciones

AUTO-STOP CHAIN BRAKE

This tool is fitted with an auto-stop chain brake assembly (4) which will stop the chain
immediately each time you release the rear trigger, or if kickback should occur. The chain
brake assembly (4) should be tested before every use.
• How to set the chain brake (PIC 7):
01
Make sure that the tool is disconnected from the mains supply.
02
Pull the front guard/chain brake assembly (4) back into the position "1". The tool is
now ready to use.
• How the anti-kickback chain brake works:
In the event of kickback, your left hand comes in contact with the front guard, push-
ing it forwards, toward the workpiece, and stops the tool immediately.
• How the inertia activated chain brake works:
The front guard/chain brake assembly (4) is activated when the front hand guard is
pushed forward, either manually, by the back of the users hand or by its own weight.
The advantage of the inertia brake is that it is activated by a severe kickback.
• How to test the anti-kickback chain brake:
01
Grip the tool firmly in both hands on a firm surface make sure the saw chain is
clear of the ground and switch on (see "How to switch the tool on").
02
Rotate your left hand forward around the front handle so that the back of your
hand comes in contact with the front guard/chain brake assembly and pushes it
forwards, toward the workpiece. The saw chain should stop within a few fractions of
a second.
To reset after the operation of the front guard/chain brake assembly (4), follow the
instructions for "How to set the chain brake".
WARNING! It will not be possible to switch the tool on if the front
guard/chain brake assembly (4) is not in the position "1" (PIC 7).
