Pre Cutting Test

• For this purpose it may be wise to practice by cutting some small logs or

limbs several times on a sawhorse or cradle.

• Do not allow either people or animals into the work area. Multiple

operators - Keep a safe distance between two or more operators when

Correct Use of Chain Brake

Kickback is very hazardous. If the tip of the bar touches wood

or the like, the guide bar kicks back instantly. The chain brake

reduces the possibility of injury due to kickback. Always check

that the chain brake works properly before use. Otherwise

serious personal injury can result.

Be sure to install a guide bar and saw chain when performing a

chain brake test.

Note:

• For practice, while cutting a small tree, push the front hand guard

forward to engage the brake.

• At all times, confirm whether the brake works properly before each

task.

• If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, function of the brake

deteriorates a little. Always keep the device clean.

• Do not increase motor revolutions while the chain brake is engaged.

• Never test the brake in an area where petrol fumes are present.
