Checking the inertia brake release
With the engine turned off, hold the chain saw over a stump
or other firm object. Let go of the front handle so that the bar
drops towards the stump as the chain saw rotates around the
rear handle.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be
applied.
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 your
left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let go of
the front handle.
The chain should stop immediately.
Throttle lockout
• Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting
when the throttle lockout is released.
• Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its
original position when you release it.
• Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move
freely and that the return springs work properly.
• Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the
throttle control and check that the chain stops and
remains stationary. If the chain rotates when the throttle
control is in the idle position you should check the
carburetor idle adjustment.
