Chain Brake - EGO POWER+ CS1400 Manual Del Usuario

◾ ◾
Push and Pull – The reaction force
is always opposite to the direction
the chain is moving where wood
contact is made. Thus, the operator
must be ready to control the PULL
when cutting on the bottom edge of
the bar, and the PUSH when cutting
along the top edge. See Figure 5.
KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES ON
THIS CHAIN SAW

Chain Brake

The chain saw comes equipped with
a chain brake, which stops both the
motor and the motion of the chain when
kickback occurs. The chain brake can be
activated by the forward motion of the
chain kickback brake handle as the saw
rotates backward during kickback; it can
also be activated by the inertial forces generated during rapid pushback.
WARNING :
Make sure that the chain brake is working properly before using the chain saw. The
chain kickback brake handle should move back and forth easily.
To test the operation of the chain brake,
perform the following steps (Fig. 6):
◾ ◾
Place the chain saw on a flat bare
surface and make sure no objects
or obstructions that could come in
contact with the bar and chain are
in the immediate vicinity.
◾ ◾
Disengage the chain brake by
pulling the chain kickback brake
handle towards the front handle.
