2.Start the engine and allow it to warm up in low speed for a few minutes.

3.Turn the idle adjusting screw (T) counterclockwise so that the saw chain does not turn. If the idling speed is too slow, turn the screw clockwise.

4.Make a test cut and adjust the H needle for best cutting power, not for maximum speed.

■CHAIN BRAKE

The chain brake is a device which stops the chain in- stantaneously if the chain saw recoils due to kickback. Normally, the brake is activated automatically by inertial force. It can also be activated manually by pushing the brake lever (left-hand guard) down toward the front. When the brake operates, a yellow cone pops up from the base of the brake lever.

Releasing the Brake

Pull the brake lever up and back toward the left-hand handle until it clicks into place.

WARNING

•When the brake operates, release the throttle lever to slow down the engine speed. Continuous opera- tion with the brake engaged will generate heat from the clutch and may cause overheating or clutch fail- ure.

•At machine inspection prior to each job, check the operating condition of the brake following these steps.

1.Start the engine and grasp the handle securely with both hands.

2.Pulling the throttle lever to maintain the chain opera- tion, push the brake lever (left-hand guard) down toward the front using the back of your left hand.

3.When the brake operates and the chain is stopped, release the throttle lever.

4.Release the brake.

WARNING

•Before proceeding to your job, read the section “For Safe Operation”. It is recommended to first practice sawing small logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit.

• The chain saw must only be used for cutting wood. It is for- bidden to cut other types of material. Vibrations and kick- back vary with different mate- rials. Do not use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do not lock it over fixed stands. It is forbid- den to hitch tools or applica- tions to the PTO other than those specified by the manu- facturer.

US-12

•It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Ap- ply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle.

•When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to open the way.
