Checking the inertia brake release
Place the chain saw, with the engine switched off, on a
stump or other stable surface. Release the front handle
and let the saw fall by its own weight, rotating around the
rear handle towards the stump.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be
activated.
Checking the right-hand brake trigger
Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that
there are no visible defects, such as cracks.
Push the trigger up and forwards to check that it moves
freely and is securely hinged to the clutch co
ver.
Never carry or hang the saw by the trigger! This could
damage the mechanism and disable the chain brake.
Checking the brake trigger
Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it. Make sure
the chain does not touch the ground or any other object.
See the instructions under the heading Start and stop.
Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and
thumbs around the handles
.
Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting
y
our left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let
go of the front handle.
The chain should stop
immediately.
