CHAIN BRAKE

F13
(a)
F14
This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to
stop saw chain rotation upon occurrence of kickback
(b)
while in saw cutting operation. The brake is
automatically operated by inertial force which acts on
the weight fitted inside the front guard.
This brake can also be operated manually with the
front guard turned down to the guide bar. (F13 (b))
To release brake, pull up the front guard toward the
front handle till "click" sound is heard. (F13(a))
[Caution]
Make sure to confirm brake operation on the daily
inspection.
How to confirm:
(1) Turn off the engine.
(2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your
hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide bar
to a stump or a piece of wood, and confirm brake
operation. Operating level varies by bar size. (F14)
In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer
inspection and repairing. The engine, if being kept
rotated at high speed with the brake engaged, it will
damage the clutch, causing a trouble. When the brake
is operated while in operation, immediately release
your fingers from the throttle trigger and keep the
engine idling.
