• If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, function of the brake may
deteriorate. Always keep the device clean.
• Do not increase engine RPM while the chain brake is locked.
Do not use a bar and chain combination other than those specified in this
manual.
For your own safety, do not remove the chain brake system.
The installation of a chain brake may be mandatory by law or as stipulated
by insurance regulations in your area of operation. You should inquire
through local government offices, your employer or your local dealer to
ensure that your chainsaw conforms to the required safety standard.
Chain brakes have been designed and tested to comply with international
safety standards as follows:
USA: ANSI Standard B175.1 Safety Requirement for chainsaws
Canada: CSA Standard Z62.1, Z62.3
ANSI Standard B175.1 and
CSA Z62.1.3 stipulate that the
brake shall stop the chain
0.12 seconds at an engine
speed of 13,500 rpm. It is the
responsibility of the owner/
operator to ensure that the
brake is serviced, adjusted
and tested strictly in
accordance with the
instructions as detailed here
in order to ensure that the
brake performance is
maintained in compliance with
the Standards B175.1 and CSA
Z62.1.3.
