WARNING:
0 Under normal circumstances, it should never be necessary to intentionally release the chain brake while the tool i s running. Occasionally, after the brake has been actuated, the protector may not reset to the exact original position. If this happens, place the tool on a flat surface in a clear area (away from other persons or objects that might contact the saw chain). Then turn the tool on. After running the tool for a couple of seconds, turn the tool off. While the motor i s coasting, reset the protector with the same hand you used to turn the tool on. Hold the tool firmly by grasping the front handle with the other hand.
Careless handling of the tool a t this time could result in serious injury, therefore use extreme caution when resetting the chain brake in this manner.
0 Before operation, always check to see that the chain brake actuates properly.
Holding the chain saw
