wards.

Dismantle the hand guard.
Carefully tighten the clutch housing in a vice. Re-
lease the brake by using the saw's hand guard as
a tool. Mesh with the brake and tighten anti-clock-
wise until the brake is activated, see figure 1.
WARNING!
Exercise care to ensure the spring
does not fly out and causes personal
injury. Wear protective goggles.

screwdriver to maintain pressure on the spring as
shown in figure 3. Then carefully remove the cover
over the brake spring.

press a small screwdriver into the spring. Care-
fully bend upwards until the spring is released and
slides onto the screwdriver, see figure 4.

other defects. Always use original spare parts.
Measure the thickness of the chain brake band.
It must not be less than 0.6 mm in any place.
