: Release the trigger switch so that it can return to the off position (1). It is locked in this position by the trigger switch lockout.

The coasting brake brings the saw chain to a standstill.

If the trigger switch is held in position 2, the coasting brake will not be activated and the saw chain will continue running for several seconds.

The overload circuit breaker cuts off the power supply to the saw in case of mechanical overload due to, e.g.

–excessive infeed force,

–“lugging down” the motor,

–pinching the saw chain in the cut.

If the overload circuit breaker has cut off the power supply:

:Pull the guide bar out of the cut.

:Disengage the chain brake if necessary, see chapter “Chain Brake”.
