GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
8 – English
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is
designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback. The chain
brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can
prevent them.
Take care when using your saw and make sure the
kic
kbac
k zone of the bar never touches any object.
• The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually
(by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia
release mechanism.
• The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forw
ards.
• This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism
that tightens the br
ak
e band (C) around the engine
drive system (D) (clutch drum).
• The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate
the chain br
ak
e. Another important feature is that it
reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if
you lose grip of the front handle.
• The chain brake must be engaged when the chain
sa
w is star
ted to prevent the saw chain from rotating.
• Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when
starting and when moving over short distances, to
reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting
your leg or anyone or anything close by.
• To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard
backw
ards, towards the front handle.
• Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most
kic
kbac
ks are minor and do not always activate the
chain brake. If this happens you should hold the chain
saw firmly and not let go.
• The way the chain brake is activated, either manually
or automatically b
y the iner
tia release mechanism,
depends on the force of the kickback and the position
of the chain saw in relation to the object that the
kickback zone of the bar strikes.
If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of
the bar is f
