How to Check the Run-Down Brake Functionality on a Makita Chainsaw
If you own a Makita chainsaw, ensuring that the run-down brake works properly is essential for your safety during operation. The run-down brake is an important safety feature that stops the chain quickly when you release the trigger. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to check this functionality effectively. Why Check the Run-Down Brake? The run-down brake is designed to stop the saw chain from moving within one second after the trigger is released. If this feature is malfunctioning, it could lead to accidents or injuries while using the chainsaw. Therefore, it’s crucial to perform this check before every use. Steps to Check the Run-Down Brake
Prepare the Chainsaw:
Ensure the chainsaw is on a flat, stable surface. Confirm that the battery is charged and properly installed (but do not start the chainsaw yet). Ensure that the chain is not engaging with the ground or any object. Hold the Chainsaw Properly:
Grasp the rear handle with your right hand. Use your left hand to hold the front handle securely. This grip helps in controlling the chainsaw while checking the brake.

Run the Chainsaw:
Press the lock-off button, then pull the switch trigger to start the saw chain. Allow the saw to run for a moment to reach its operating speed. Release the Trigger:
Once the chainsaw is running, completely release the switch trigger. Observe the saw chain carefully. Check the Stopping Time:
The chain should come to a complete stop within one second after releasing the trigger. If the saw chain continues to move beyond one second, do not use the chainsaw. This indicates a malfunction in the run-down brake. What to Do If It Fails:
If the chain does not stop within the specified time, you should immediately stop using the chainsaw. Contact an authorized Makita service center for professional assistance. Safety Precautions
Always take safety precautions when checking the functionality of any chainsaw feature:
Ensure you wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and safety goggles. Conduct this check away from flammable materials or where others might be present. Never attempt to fix the chainsaw yourself unless you have appropriate training and experience.
