Checking the inertia brake release

Place the chain saw, with the engine switched off, on a

stump or other stable surface. Release the front handle

and let the 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

Place the chain saw on ﬁrm ground and start it. Make sure

the chain does not touch the ground or any other object.

See instructions under the heading Starting and stopping.

Grasp the chain saw ﬁrmly, wrapping your ﬁngers and

thumbs around the handles.

Apply full throttle 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.

Throttle trigger lockout

• Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle

setting when the throttle lockout is released.

• Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to

its original position when you release it.

• Check that the throttle trigger and throttle lockout

move freely and that the return springs work properly.

• Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the

throttle control and check that the chain stops and

remains stationary. If the chain rotates when the

throttle control is in the idle position you should check

the carburettor idle adjustment.
