NOTE: If the chain has difficulty moving on the bar or stops, it is overtightened. Loosen the tension.
Checking the chain brake
Your chain saw has a chain brake that reduces the chance of injury if the saw bounces. The safety device
is triggered when pressure is applied to the brake guard. When the operator's hand strikes the shield, the
chain stops sharply.
WARNING!
The chain brake reduces the chance of injury from chain saw bounce, but does not provide
protection if the unit is operated carelessly. Check that the chain brake is in good working order
before starting work and periodically while working with the chainsaw.
The chain brake has two positions:
1. The brake is off (the chain can move) when the brake shield is pulled back (A) (fig. 12).
2. The brake is on (the chain cannot move) with the brake shield pointing forward (B). In this case, the chain
should not move on the bar (fig. 12).
To check the chain brake:
1. Place the saw on a level surface and turn off the chain brake. The chain should not come into contact with
anything.
2. Start the chainsaw by pressing the throttle lock key and the throttle key.
3. Press the chain brake switch. The chain should stop quickly. Release the throttle key.
WARNING!
The brake shield must be in good condition and must make a distinctive click when moving from one
position to another. Do not use the unit if the brake shield cannot be moved to one of the positions
or if the chain does not stop when the brake is applied. Take the unit to a service center for repair.
