6.3 Assembling the chain brake

1. Screw the knee joint and the brake band
together (see figure 5) using a tightening torque
of 1-2 Nm. Place the knee joint with the fitted
chain brake band in the opening in the clutch
cover. The space for the spring in the cover
must be lubricated with grease. See figure 6.
2. Compress the spring with a wide screwdriver
and press it down with your thumb. See figure 7.
3. Fit the cover over the brake spring using 1-2
Nm tightening torque. See figure 8.
WARNING!
Exercise care to ensure the spring
does not fly out and cause personal
injury. Wear protective goggles.
4. Tighten the brake by using the saw's hand
guard as a tool. Mesh with the brake and
tighten clockwise until the brake is in the off
position. See figure 9.
NOTE! Make sure the bushings in the kickback
guard's attachments are kept in place from the
inside. See figure 9.
5. Screw the kickback guard in place and put the
rocket in position. Position the spring (B) in the
plastic housing (C) (see figure 10) and press
the spring against the rocker and then press the
plastic housing into its groove. Tighten the
chain guide plate in place.
6. Fit the:
• bar
