Where does a person go to report a consumer safety issue like this?
Ahhh. Thanks.
I suppose I could have found that myself. I'll see what my phone call tomorrow produces. Though, reporting something like this shouldn't be a last resort to get assistance. It is, after all, a regular safety test from their own manual that has failed, and almost certainly wasn't working properly when it left the factory...
Thanks steve, I wasn't sure about the height from which to drop the bar (not running). I just held the saw at arms length (I'm 6'2") and dropped the bar down onto about an 8 inch log section and the brake didn't engage. Maybe I'm being too easy on it-I don't want to mess something up.
The brake band itself seems to be working ok, it's just tough to pull it back to disengage. The whole handguard bends, as Journier stated in the first post of this thread. Maybe thats just how these are supposed to be?
I'm not really looking to report anything, just want to make sure things are right.

Yes, my echo is a bit that way too, just a lot smaller, CS440. This saw is going to be in an Alaskan mill most of the time anyway, maybe my lack of experience was making a bigger issue of this than it really is.
