Chain brake and front hand guard
Checking the front hand guard
•Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects such as cracks.
•Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make sure it moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the machine.
Checking the inertia brake release
•Place the chain saw, deactivated, above a stump or other stable surface. Release the front handle and let the chain saw fall by its own weight, rotating around the rear handle towards the stump.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be activated.
Checking the brake trigger
•Activate the chain saw. Make sure the saw chain does not touch the ground or any other object. See the instructions under the heading Start and stop.
•Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and thumbs around the handles.
•Apply full power and activate the chain brake by tilting your left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let go of the front handle. The chain should stop immediately.
