Run-Out Brake/Front Brake (see figure E)

The power tool is fitted with two protective devices:

The run-out brake slows down the saw chain after the on/off switch (2) is released.

The front brake is a protective mechanism that is triggered via the lever for activating the front brake (4) if the power tool kicks back or the on/off switch fails. The saw chain stops immediately.

Perform a function test from time to time. Push the lever for activating the front brake (4) forwards (position ) and briefly switch on the power tool. The saw chain must not start up. To unlock the front brake again, pull the lever for activating the front brake (4) back again (position ).

Do not carry the power tool by the lever for activating the front brake.
