The
DCS
9000
comes with an inertia chain brake as standard
equipment. The chain brake engages automatically in case
of
kickback, which is caused by the tip contacting wood while the
saw is running.
The chain will stop within a fraction of a second.
The chain brake is installed to block the saw chain before
starting it and to stop it immediately in case
of
an emergen-
CY.
Actuating the chain brake (blocking)
In case of a kickback the chain brake is automatically actuated
by the moment of inertia of the hand guard (W3).
When actuating the chain brake manually, press the hand
guard (W3) with your left hand in the direction
of
the guide bar
end (arrow
1).
Releasing the chain brake
Pull the hand guard (W3) in the direction
of
the tubular handle
(arrow 2) until it will engage noticeably. Now the chain break is
released.
