6.2 Assembling the chain brake

1
Screw the knee joint and the brake band together
(see figure 5) using a tightening torque of 1-1.5
Nm. Place the knee joint with the fitted chain brake
band in the opening in the clutch cover. The space
for the spring in the cover must be lubricated with
grease. See figure 6.
2
Compress the spring with a wide screwdriver and
press it down with your thumb. See figure 7.
WARNING!
Exercise care to ensure the spring
does not fly out and cause personal
injury. Wear protective goggles.
3
Fit the cover over the brake spring using 1-1.5 Nm
tightening torque. See figure 8.
4
Tighten the brake by using the saw's hand guard
as a tool. Mesh with the brake and tighten clock-
wise until the brake is in the off position. See
figure 9.

NOTE! Make sure the bushings in the kickback
guard's attachments are kept in place from the
inside. See figure 9.
Screw the kickback guard in place and put the
rocket in position. Position the spring (B) in the
plastic housing (C) (see figure 10) and press the
spring against the rocker and then press the plastic
housing into its groove. Tighten the chain guide
plate in place.
