◾
When felling, keep bystanders at least two tree lengths away.

KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS CHAIN SAW
Chain Brake
The chain saw comes equipped with a chain brake, which stops both the motor and
the motion of the chain when kickback occurs. The chain brake can be activated by
the forward motion of the chain kickback brake handle as the saw rotates backward
during kickback; it can also be activated by the inertial forces generated during rapid
pushback.
WARNING
:
Never modify or
attempt to disable the chain brake.
Make sure that the chain brake is working
properly before using the chain saw. The
chain kickback brake handle should move
back and forth easily.
To test the operation of the chain brake,
perform the following steps (Fig. 6):
