Chain brake and front hand guard

Checking brake band wear

Brush off any wood dust, resin and dirt from the chain brake and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair operation of the brake.

Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0.6 mm thick at its thinnest point.

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 clutch cover.

Checking the inertia brake release

Hold the chain saw over a stump or other firm object. Let go of the front handle so that the bar drops towards the stump as the chain saw rotates around the rear handle.

When the bar hits the stump the brake should be applied.

Checking the brake trigger

Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it. Make sure the chain does not touch the ground or any other object. See the instructions under the heading Start and stop.
