chainsaw brake?

I have a husquavana chainsaw and need to reset the brake as the casing was taken off with the brake still engaged and of course now I can,t get the case back on until the brake is reset. please can you tell me how I reset the brake? I,m not sure as I don't have the saw with me as I have to use a friend's computer but I think it is a 346XP model. I hope this helps.

Take a tight grip of the chain brake assembly in one hand and with the other take a firm grip on the activating lever and pull it back towards you like you would to de-cativate it when it's mounted on the saw. You will hear a noticeable click when it is deactivated and it will then be easy to re-fit.
