The Safety Brake:
1. The Safety Brake is activated when the back of the operator’s hand pushes against
the back of the Protect Plate (17). When activated, the Chain Saw will stop auto-
matically, and the On/Off Trigger (25b) should be manually released. Next, pull the
Protect Plate (17) back to its initial position in order to restart the Chain Saw.

not
pulled back to its initial position, the Chain Saw will
not operate. (See Figure E.)

its electrical power outlet and push the Protect Plate (17) forward. Pull on the Chain
(57) with your hand protected by heavy work gloves. The Chain Saw should be
automatically locked in its “OFF” mode.
