2.Hold the saw with the guide bar approximately 50 cm (20 in.) above a wooden surface. Right hand should hold the rear handle, and left hand should hold the front handle.

3.Release the front handle and drop the end of the guide bar against the wooden surface.

4.The impact should lock the chain brake.

IMPORTANT

When checking the operation of the automatic chain brake, use a soft surface substance like wood to provide the impact so the chain is not damaged.
