Correct Use of Chain Brake
Kickback is very hazardous. If the tip of the bar touches wood
or the like, the guide bar kicks back instantly. The chain brake
reduces the possibility of injury due to kickback. Always check
that the chain brake works properly before use. Otherwise
serious personal injury can result.
Be sure to install a guide bar and saw chain when performing a
chain brake test.
Note:
• For practice, while cutting a small tree, push the front hand guard
forward to engage the brake.
• At all times, confirm whether the brake works properly before each
task.
• If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, function of the brake
deteriorates a little. Always keep the device clean.
• Do not increase motor revolutions while the chain brake is engaged.
• Never test the brake in an area where petrol fumes are present.
Chain Brake
1. The chain brake's function is to
stop chain rotation after a
kickback.
2. It neither prevents nor reduces
kickback.
3. Do not depend on the chain
brake for protection against
kickback.
4. Even with a chain brake, depend on your own good sense and proper
cutting methods just as though there were no chain brake.
5. Even with normal use and proper maintenance, the response time of
the brake may lengthen.
