Step 1 - Chain brake mechanical test

Preparing to Operate the Chainsaw

Your chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake that reduces possibility of injury due to kickback.

The brake is activated if pressure is applied against the brake lever when, as in the event of

kickback, the operator’s hand strikes the lever. When the brake is actuated, chain movement

stops abruptly.

Before starting, to test the chain brake. (Push it forward until an audible click is heard).

a. The Chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can move by hand) when the BRAKE LEVER IS

PULLED BACK AND LOCKED.

b. The chain brake is ENGAGED (the chain is locked) when the brake lever is pushed forward. It

should not be possible to move the chain by hand.

WARNING! The brake lever should snap into both positions. If this is not the case do not use

your saw. Contact the helpline immediately on 01904 727500

Preparing to Operate the Chainsaw

due to specially designed depth gauges and guard links.

b i. CHAIN BRAKE: is a safety feature designed to reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback

by stopping a moving saw chain in milliseconds. It is activated by the CHAIN BRAKE lever.

b ii. CHAIN BRAKE LEVER / HAND GUARD: protects the operator’s left hand in the event it slips

off the front handle while saw is running in the event of kick back.

c. STOP SWITCH: immediately stops the engine when tripped. Stop switch must be pushed to

the “START” position to start or restart engine.

d. SAFETY TRIGGER LOCK: prevents accidental acceleration of the engine. Throttle trigger

cannot be squeezed unless the safety latch is depressed.

e. CHAIN CATCHER: reduces the danger of injury in the event saw chain breaks or derails

during operation. The chain catcher is designed to intercept a whipping chain.

NOTE! Study your saw and be familiar with its parts.

WARNING!

The purpose of the chain brake is to reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback; however, it

cannot provide the intended measure of protection if the saw is operated carelessly.

Always test the chain brake before using your saw and periodically while on the job.
