AUTOMATIC CHAIN BRAKE
The automatic chain brake stops the operation
of the saw chain in such a manner that kick-back
action produced at the end of the guide bar
automatically actuates the chain brake.
To make sure that the automatic chain brake
operates properly, proceed as follows:
1) Stop the engine of the chain saw.
2) Operate the front and rear handles with
hands (grip them lightly), so that the guide bar
may be placed at the height of about 35 cm as
shown in Fig.
3) Softly detach the left hand from the front handle,
and touch the end of the guide bar against the
wood or the like placed below so that the
machine receives an impact.
(* At this time the rear handle should be gripped
lightly with right hand.)
4) The impact is propagated to the brake lever,
which actuates the chain brake.
Rear handle should be gripped lightly with
the right handle.
(PRECAUTION)
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.
