■ An improperly maintained chain brake may
increase the time needed to stop the saw
chain after activation, or it may not activate or
stop the chain at all,
subject to wear, depending on the amount of
usage, conditions under which the saw is used
and other factors. Excessive wear will reduce
the effectiveness of the chain brake and can
render it inoperable.

authorized STIHL servicing dealer for periodic
inspection and servicing of the brake system
according to the following schedule:
