Chain Brake
This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to stop the saw chain rotation upon the occurrence of
kickback during saw cutting. The brake is automatically operated by inertial force, which acts on the weight
tted inside the front guard. The brake can also be operated manually by pushing the front guard forward
towards the guide bar.
To release the brake, pull back the front guard (4) toward the front handle (1) until a “click” sound is heard (2).
How to check:
You must check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full throttle for 1-2
seconds and pushing the front hand guard (4) forward (3).
The chain should stop immediately with the engine at full speed.
If the chain is slow to stop or does not stop, replace the brake band and clutch drum before use.
Before proceeding to your job, it is recommended to rst practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get
accustomed to your unit.
Always follow the safety regulations:
The chain saw must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of material. Vibrations
and kick-back vary with dierent materials and the requirements of the safety regulations would not be met.
Do not use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects.
The saw should cut easily without force. Apply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle.
When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to
open the way.
