AUTOMATIC CHAIN BRAKE

Kickback produced from the tip of the guide bar will 

trip the automatic chain brake. To make sure that 

the automatic chain brake operates properly, follow 

these steps: 

1. 

Stop the engine.

2. Hold the saw with the guide bar approximately 

55 cm (22 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. 

Rear handle

 should be gripped lightly with the 

right hand.
