Automatic Chain Brake
Kickback produced from the tip of the guide bar will trip the automatic chain
brake. To make sure that the automatic chain brake operates properly, follow
these steps:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Hold the saw with the guide bar approximately 35 cm (14 inches) above
a wooden surface. Right hand should hold the rear handle, and left
hand should hold the front handle.
3. Release the front handle and drop the end of the guide bar against the
wooden surface.
4. The impact should lock the chain brake.
When checking the operation of the automatic chain brake, use a soft
surface substance like wood to absorb the impact so the chain is not
damaged.
