Switching Off; Safety Devices; Motor Brake; Chain Brake - Pattfield Ergo Tools PE-EKS 1835 Notice Originale

Switching off
Release the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 6).
The integrated brake will bring the running chainsaw to a standstill
within a very short space of time. Always disconnect the mains plug
when you stop working, even if it is only for a short time.
Warning! Always carry the saw by the front handle. If the saw is
plugged in and you carry it by the rear handle (which is where the
switches are located), then there is a risk that you could accidentally
press the safety lock-off and the ON/OFF switch at the same time,
and the chainsaw could inadvertently start up.

6.3 Safety devices

Motor brake

The motor brakes the saw chain as soon as the ON/OFF switch (Fig.
1/Item 6) is released or the power supply is interrupted. This signifi -
cantly reduces the risk of injury that would otherwise be present if the
chain continued to run after being switched off or disconnected.

Chain brake

The chain brake is a safety mechanism which is triggered via the
front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2). If kickback causes the chainsaw
to suddenly jerk back then the chain brake trips and stops the saw
chain in less than 0.1 seconds. You must check the operation of the
chain brake on a regular basis. To do this, fold the hand guard (Fig.
1/Item 2) forward and briefl y switch the chainsaw on. The saw chain
must not start up.
Pull back the front hand guard (Fig. 1/Item 2) until it engages to re-
lease the chain brake.
