Abstract:
1. A brake assembly for a hand-held power-driven cutting device comprising: a movably arranged lever, at least being movable between a first- and a second position, a brake member, and a brake element connected to or forming one unit with a rotatable part of a transmission of the cutting device, wherein the brake member is movable between a non-activated position and an activated position, and wherein the brake member is arranged to engage with the brake element in the activated position to prevent rotation of the rotatable part, the brake assembly further comprising: a holding mechanism arranged to hold the brake member in the non-activated position when the lever is in the first position, and a first resilient element arranged to bias the brake member towards the activated position, and wherein the brake member is arranged to be released from the holding mechanism as a response to the lever coming into the second position, and wherein when released the brake member is adapted to be forced towards the activated position by means of the first resilient element, and wherein the brake member is arranged to engage with a structure of the brake element in said activated position so as to prevent rotation of the brake element.
