To release brake, pull up the front handle guard toward the front
handle until a “click” is heard.
When the brake operates, release the throttle lever to slow down
the engine speed. Continuous operation with the brake engaged will
generate heat from the clutch and may cause serious damage to the
clutch.
Be sure to conrm brake operation on the daily inspection.
How to conrm:
1) Turn off the engine and push brake
handle forward.
2) Holding the chainsaw in a horizontal
position, let go of the front handle and
rest the chain on a piece of wood or
tree stump, push the chainsaw forward,
the brake should hold the chain rm
on the bar. Resistance level can vary
depending on bar size.
If the chain brake is not effective, ask
your dealer to inspect the machine and
adjust or repair the brake
