Chain Brake
WARNING!
The chain brake is
installed only to reduce
the risk of injury from kickback!
The chain brake is not a substitute
for careful operation!
The Shindaiwa 357 saw is equipped with
an inertial chain brake that stops the
saw chain whenever the brake lever is
moved to the forward (engaged)
position.
■ Engaging the brake lever causes a
brake band to tighten around the
clutch drum, stopping the chain.
■ The chain brake is designed to
engage whenever the brake lever
strikes the operator’s hand.
■ The chain brake can also be
activated by pushing the brake
lever forward manually.
■ To release (disengage) the chain
brake, pull the brake lever toward
you.
Chain Brake Operation
IMPORTANT!
Release the throttle whenever the
chain brake is activated!
