Maintenance and checks of the safety
Refer to
devices on the product on page 24 for instructions
about how to do a check of the chain brake. We
recommend you to do this each time before you use
the product. Second, the force of the kickback must
be large to engage the chain brake. If the chain
brake is too sensitive, it can engage during rough
operation.
• Will the chain brake always protect me from injury
during a kickback?
No. The chain brake must operate correctly to give
protection. The chain brake must also be engaged
during a kickback to stop the saw chain. If you are
near the guide bar, it is possible that the chain brake
does not have time to stop the saw chain before it
hits you.
WARNING: Only you and the correct
working technique can prevent kickbacks.
