Chain Brake
• The chain brake (A) function is to swiftly stop the chain
displacement and protect the hand if kickback strikes (see
page 5). It is designed considering the predictable
kickback movement that throws the chain bar upwards
and towards the operator, so that when the brake is
pushed with the left hand, the chain stops immediately.
CAUTION • Test the chain brake each time you
turn on the chain saw and before starting the cut:
• With the motor running and pressing the throttle trigger
push with the back of your left hand the chain brake
towards the chain bar.
maneuver DO NOT release the front handle. Only turn
your left hand forward until making contact with the brake and push it.
WARNING • If by any chance the brake would not stop the chain DO NOT
operate the chain saw. Turn it off and take it to a
Service Center for repairs.
• If the brake works correctly the cutting chain will stop immediately. To set the brake
back into the running position, pull the brake lever towards you un hearing a click.
WARNING • Remember the chain brake will not prevent a kickback. It is a
safety device to prevent possible injuries after a kickback is produced.
WARNING • Remember that even with adequate maintenance and used in
field use conditions, the chain brake functioning cannot be considered totally safe.
Stay alert at all times. Use adequate cutting techniques and always use all the safety
devices.
Anti-Kickback Protection
• The guide bar tip is a kickback-generating zone when making contact with an
obstacle therefore, it is built with an anti-kickback protection (B).
• To prevent kickback when cutting horizontally and leveled with the ground, the
protection shall always be on the bar cover side and the chain.
WARNING • Unexperienced people shall never operate the chain saw
without the anti-kickback protection set in the bar tip.
DANGER
• Only if the user has professional experience and can use the
adequate techniques, can remove the protector when passing the bar tip into the cut,
when perforating or cutting logs thicker than the length of the bar. The protection shall
always be mounted back after finishing those types of cuts.
Cutting Chain for Moderate Cuts
• This type of chain is built with cleaning sprockets (depth gauge) set in front of
each cutting sprocket. This prevents the sprockets go too deep in the wood and get
stuck causing kickback.
WARNING • To replace worn chains, use only chains certified as moderate
kickback.
• Consider that as the chain wears out due to normal use or the
WARNING
honing process, it loses the capability to reduce the possibility of kickback. The user
shall use more caution.
Guide Bar
WARNING • Replace the guide bar (D) with an identical
brand bar with the kickback protector mounted in the tip.
CAUTION • The lower the chain bar's tip radius is, its capacity to diminish the
possibility of a kickback will be lower.
