CHAIN BRAKE

J'l_

-",WARNINg:WE DO NOT REP-

RESENT AND YOU SHOULD NOT AS- SUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WILL PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A KICKBACK. Kickback is a lightningfast ac- tion which throws the bar and rotating chain back and up toward the operator. Kickback can be caused by allowing contact of the bar tip in the danger zone with any hard object. Kickbackcan also be caused by pinchingthe saw chain alongthetop ofthe guidebar. This action may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these events may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious injury or even death. DO NOT RELY UPON ANY OF THE DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR SAW. YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW PROPERLY AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID KICKBACK. Re-

duced-kickback guide bars and low-kick- back saw chains reduce the chance and

magnitude of kickback and are recom- mended. Your saw has a low kickback chain

and bar as original equipment. If the brake band is worn too thin it may break when the chain brake is triggered.With a broken brake band, the chain brake will not stop the chain. The chain brake should be replaced by an authorized service dealer if any part is worn to less than 1/32" thick. Repairs on a chain brake should be made by an authorized ser- vice dealer. Take your unit to the place of purchase if purchased from a Husqvarna Servicing Dealer, or to the nearest Autho- rized Husqvarna Service Dealer.

•This saw is equipped with a chain brake. The brake is designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs.

•The inertia-activated chain brake is

activated if the front hand guard is pushed forward, either manually (by hand) or automatically (by sudden movement).

•If the brake is already activated, it is

disengagedby pullingthe front hand guard back toward the front handle as far as

possible.

•When cutting with the saw, the chain brake must be disengaged.

These models are particularly well-suited for light to moderate cutting tasks, making them ideal for trimming bushes, felling small trees, and cutting firewood.

In terms of safety features, both chainsaws come with a chain brake that is activated in the event of kickback, providing an extra layer of protection for the operator. The anti-vibration technology significantly reduces vibrations, allowing for more comfortable operation and limiting operator fatigue.

The easy-start system is another practical feature of the Husqvarna 141 and 136. This system helps users start the chainsaw with minimal effort, ensuring that you can get to work quickly without dealing with frustrating starting issues. Additionally, both models feature an adjustable oil pump that allows the user to control the amount of oil delivered to the chain, which ensures optimal lubrication and extends the life of the chainsaw.

Maintenance is straightforward with the Husqvarna 141 and 136, thanks to tool-less chain tensioning and a quick-release air filter. This design simplifies the process of adjusting the chain and cleaning the air filter, ensuring that the chainsaw remains in peak working condition.
