rapid upward movement of the bar that causes
the hand to strike the front guard (Fig. 1.D).
It must be manually released to
disengage the chain brake.

is achieved when the front hand
guard (Fig. 1.D) is pulled all the
way back towards the front hand
grip until it clicks into position.
Chain brake engaged. This
is achieved when the front
hand guard (Fig. 1.D) is
pushed all the way forward.
Do not use the machine if the chain
brake does not function correctly and
have it inspected by your dealer.
