TESTING THE BRAKE
• Start the engine on a solid level
surface and run at a fast idle until
warm.
• Hold the saw firmly by the handles
and accelerate the engine to a fast
idle.
• Slowly operate the chain brake
lever while holding the saw firmly on the ground. When the brake lever
trips, the chain should stop. Immediately release the throttle trigger.
Do not allow the saw to tip forward in order to avoid damage to the
chain.
If the chain does not stop immediately, return the saw to your
authorized dealer for repair.
Note:
• For practice, while cutting a small tree, push the lever forward to lock
the brake.
• Confirm that the brake works properly before each use.
• 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's while the chain brake is locked.
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 chain saw conforms to the required safety standard.
This chain brake has been designed and tested to comply with international
safety standards as follows.
Canada: CSA Standard Z62.1, Z62.3
USA: ANSI Standard B175.1 Safety Requirement for chain saws
