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.
WARNING :
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. 1):
◾
Place the chain saw on a flat bare
surface and make sure no objects
or obstructions that could come in
contact with the bar and chain are in
the immediate vicinity.
◾
Disengage the chain brake by
pulling the chain kickback brake
handle towards the front handle.
◾
Start the chain saw.
◾
Push the chain kickback brake handle towards the front of the saw. A properly
functioning hand brake will stop the movement of the chain immediately. If the
chain brake is not working properly, do not use the chain saw until it has been
repaired by a qualified service technician.
