 To stop the engine in an emergency, engage the chain brake and move the switch to the “0” position.

CHAIN BRAKE

Starting shall always be done with the chain brake activated. The chain brake is a device that automatically stops 
the chain in case a backward movement occurs, causing the saw to jump. Normally, the brake is automatically 
activated by the inertia force.
It is also manually tightened by pushing the brake lever down and forward.
When the brake is running, a yellow sign comes out from the base of the brake lever.
To release the brake, pull the brake lever up until it clicks into place.
When the brake is in operation, release the trigger to slow down the engine speed. Continuous use when the 
brake is running causes the clutch to heat up and can cause problems.
When checking the machine before using it, check the operating condition of the brake by performing the 
following operations:

  Start the engine and grasp the handle fi rmly with both hands.
  While using the trigger to keep the chain in operation, push the brake lever down with the back of the left 

hand.

  When the brake is running and the chain is stopped, remove the hand from the throttle.
  Loosen the brake.
