Chain brake operation (Optional) (Fig. 2-5)

Chain brake (1) is designed to activate in an emergency such as kick-back action. Please check to verify that it works properly before use.

Application of brake is made by moving the front guard towards the bar. During the chain brake operation, even if the throttle lever is pulled, the engine speed does not increase and the chain does not turn. To release the brake, pull up the chain brake lever.

WARNING!

Do not carry the machine with the engine running.

Stopping (Fig. 2-6)

Decrease engine speed, and push ignition switch to stop position.

WARNING! KICKBACK DANGER (Fig. 2-7)

One of the most severe dangers when working with a chain saw is the possibility of kickback.

Kickback may occur when the upper tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back toward you. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may also push the guide bar rapidly back towards you. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.

Even though your saw has safety built into its design, you should not rely on these safety features exclusively. Know where your bar tip is at all times.

Kickback does occur if you allow the kickback zone (1) of the bar to touch an object. Do not use that area. Kickback from pinching is caused by a cut closing and pinching the upper side of the guide bar. Study your cut and make sure it will open as you cut through.

Maintain control when the engine is running by always keeping a firm grip on the saw with your right hand on the rear handle, your left hand on the front handle and your thumbs and fingers encircling the handles. Always hold the saw with both hands during operation and cut at high engine speed.

WARNING!

Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

WARNING!

Use extra caution when felling, and do not use the saw in a nose-high position or above shoulder height.

CHAIN CATCHER

The chain catcher is located on the power head just below the chain to further prevent the possibility of a broken chain striking the chainsaw user.

WARNING!

Do not stand in-line with chain when cutting.
