To do a check of the front hand guard

Regularly do a check of the front hand guard and the inertia brake release.
  1. Make sure that the front hand guard is not damaged and that there are no defects, such as cracks.
  2. Make sure that the front hand guard moves freely and that it is attached safely to the product.
  3. Put the product, with the motor off, on a stump or other stable surface.
  4. Hold the rear handle and let go of the front handle. Let the product fall against the stump.
  5. Make sure that the chain brake engages as the guide bar hits the stump.
