The THROTTLE TRIGGER controls engine speed.

THROTTLE LOCK-OUT

The THROTTLE LOCK--OUT must be pressed before you can squeeze the throttle trigger. This feature prevents you from acci- dentally squeezing the trigger.

FAST IDLE LOCK

The FAST IDLE LOCK holds the throttle trigger in the starting position. Activate the fast idle lock by pressing the throttle lockout and squeezing the throttle trigger. With the throttle trigger squeezed, press the fast idle lock. Re- lease the throttle lockout and trigger while hold- ing the fast idle lock button.

CHAIN BRAKE

The CHAIN BRAKE is a device designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The chain brake activates automatically in the event of kickback. The chain brake activates manually if the front hand guard is pushed forward. The chain brake is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back toward the front handle as far as possible.

CHAIN TENSION

It is normal for a new chain to stretch during first 15 minutes of operation. You should check your chain tension frequently. See CHAIN TENSION under the ASSEMBLY section.

WARNING: Muffler is very hot dur- ing and after use. Do not touch the muffler or allow combustible material such as dry grass or fuel to do so.
