activated if pressure is applied against the guard or when, in the
event of kickback, the operator’s hand strikes the lever. When the
chain brake is activated, chain movement abruptly stops and the
power supply to the motor is immediately cut off. The purpose of
the chain brake is to reduce the possibility of injury due to
kickback. The chain brake cannot, however, provide the measure
of intended protection if the saw is carelessly operated. The chain
brake is disengaged (chain can move) when the brake is pulled
back and locked. This is the normal running position (Fig. 10a).
The chain brake is engaged (chain cannot move) when the brake
is in forward position (Fig. 10b).
note: The motor will not start if the chain brake is in the engaged
position.
Caution! The chain brake should not be used for
starting and stopping the saw during normal operation.
chain brake test:
Before cutting with your saw, the chain brake should be tested as
follows:
A. Make sure the chain brake is disengaged (Fig. 10a).
B. Place the saw on a firm, flat, dry surface that is clear of any
debris. Do not let the saw come in contact with any objects.
C. Plug the unit into the power source.
D. Grasp the front handle (not the Chain Brake / Hand Guard
Lever) with your left hand. Thumb and fingers should encircle
