Chain brake is designed to activate in an emergency 

such as kick-back action.

Application of brake is made by moving the front 

hand guard towards the bar. During the chain brake 

operation, even if the throttle lever is pulled, the 

engine speed does not increase and the chain does 

not turn. To release the brake, pull the front hand 

guard toward the front handle.

If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the 

brake engaged, the clutch will overheat causing 

trouble.

When the brake engages during operation, immediately 

release the throttle lever to slow down the engine.

1) Turn off  the engine.

2)  Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your 

hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide 

bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confi rm 

brake operation. Operating level varies by bar size.

In case the brake is not eff ective, ask our dealer for 

inspection and repairs.

  Before starting, make sure chain brake is 

engaged and that the bar/chain does not touch 

anything. (Fig. 12)
