Checking the Kickback Brake

The gasoline saw chain is equipped with automatic kickback brake (4).
The kickback brake is a device which stops the saw chain instantane-
ously if the chain saw recoils due to kickback. Before operating the
chain saw check the proper function of the kickback brake.
1. Start the engine.
2. Allow the chain saw to run for some time and push the front hand
guard (4) forwards. The chain must stop instantaneously.
If the kickback brake does not function properly do not operate the
chain saw further more and have it repaired by a professional.
Please note, continuous operation with the kickback brake engaged will
generate heat from the clutch and may cause trouble at the clutch. If
the kickback brake is activated, release the throttle trigger and shut off
the engine.
