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
cover.
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 instructions under the heading Starting
and stopping.
• 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 trigger 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.
