Husqvarna Power Axe 350i Operator's Manual page 11

Pull the front hand guard rearward to disengage the
chain brake.
A kickback can be very sudden and intense. Most
kickbacks are small and do not always engage the chain
brake. If a kickback occurs when you use the product,
hold tightly around the handles and do not let go.
The front hand guard also decreases the risk to touch
the saw chain if your hand lets go of the front handle.
In the felling position you cannot engage the chain brake
manually. The chain brake can in this position only be
engaged by the inertia release mechanism.
Power trigger lockout
The power trigger lockout prevents accidental operation
of the power trigger. If you push the power trigger
lockout forward (A) and then push the power trigger
1844 - 006 - 13.07.2023
lockout against the handle (B), it releases the power
trigger (C). If you release the handle, the power trigger
and the power trigger lockout move back to their initial
positions.

Chain catcher
The chain catcher catches the saw chain if it breaks or
comes loose. If you have the correct chain tension, the
risk decreases. You also decrease the risk if you do the
correct maintenance on the guide bar and saw chain.
See Assembly on page 13 and Maintenance on page
25 for instructions.
Right hand guard
The right hand guard works as a protection for your
hand if the saw chain breaks or comes loose. It also
prevents interference from branches and twigs when
you use the product.
