CHAIN BRAKE
WARNING:
if the brake band is
worn too thin it may break when the
chain brake is triggered. With a broken
brake band, the chain brake will not stop
the chain. The chain brake must be re-
placed if any part is worn to less than
0.020 inch (0.5 mm) thick. Repairs on a
chain brake should be made by your
Sears Service Center. Take your unit to
the place of purchase or to the nearest
Sears Service Center.
* This saw is equipped with a chain
brake. The brake is designed to stop
the chain if kickback occurs.
* The inertia-activated
chain brake is
activated if the front hand guard is
pushed forward, either manually (by
hand) or automatically
(by sudden
movement).
* If the brake is already activated, it is
disengaged
by pulling the front hand
guard back toward the front handle
as far as possible.
* When cutting with the saw, the chain
brake must be disengaged.

CAUTION:
The chain brake must be
checked several times daily. The engine
must be running when performing this
procedure. This is the only instance
when the saw should be placed on the
ground with the engine running.
Place the saw on firm ground. Grip the
rear handle with your right hand and the
front handle with your left hand. Apply
