16.1 Engaging the Chain Brake
WARNING
■ The chain brake will operate only if it has been
properly maintained and the front hand guard
has not been modified,
WARNING
■ No chain brake device prevents kickback. This
device is designed to reduce the risk of kick‐
back injury, if activated, in certain kickback sit‐
uations. For the chain brake to remain in good
working order, it must be properly maintained,
6.2.1.
In the event of a kickback, the chain brake is
designed to engage if the left hand contacts the
front hand guard and pushes it forward.
The chain brake is also designed to be activated
by the inertia of the front hand guard if the forces
are sufficiently high. When the brake is activated
by inertia, the hand guard accelerates toward the
bar nose, even if your hand is not behind the
hand guard.
Engaging the chain brake locks the chain. To
manually engage the chain brake:
► Push the front hand guard to the
away from the front handle.
You will hear an audible click when the front
hand guard reaches the locked position.
