CHAIN BRAKE

The chain brake is a device which stops the chain instantaneously if the chain saw recoils due to
kickback. Normally, the brake is activated automatically by inertial force. It can also be activated
manually by pushing the brake lever (left-hand guard) down toward the front.
When the brake operates, a yellow cone pops up from the base of the brake lever.
Releasing the Brake
Pull the brake lever up toward the left-hand handle until it clicks into place.
WARNING
• When the brake operates, release the throttle lever to slow down the engine speed. Continuous
operation with the brake engaged will generate heat from the clutch and may cause trouble.
• At machine inspection prior to each job, check the operating condition of the brake following the
steps.
1. Start the engine and grasp the handle securely with both hands.
2. Pulling the throttle lever to maintain the chain operation, push the brake lever (left-hand guard)
down toward the front using the back of your left hand.
3. When the brake operates and the chain is stopped, release the throttle lever.
4. Release the brake.
