GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release mechanism.

•The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is pushed forwards.

•This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that tightens the brake band (C) around the engine drive system (D) (clutch drum).

•The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces the risk of the chain hitting your left hand if you lose grip of the front handle.

•The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is started to prevent the saw chain from rotating.

•Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when starting and when moving over short distances, to reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting your leg or anyone or anything close by.

•To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard backwards, towards the front handle.

•Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most kickbacks are minor and do not always activate the chain brake. If this happens you should hold the chain saw firmly and not let go.

•The way the chain brake is activated, either manually or automatically by the inertia release mechanism, depends on the force of the kickback and the position of the chain saw in relation to the object that the kickback zone of the bar strikes.

If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of the bar is farthest away from you the chain brake is designed to be activated by the inertia in the kickback direction.

If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of the bar is closer to you the chain brake is designed to be activated manually by the movement of your left hand.

CS 2145S, CS 2141S specifications

The Jonsered CS 2141S and CS 2145S chainsaws are powerful tools designed for both professional and avid hobbyist woodworkers. Known for their robust construction and efficient performance, these chainsaws embody reliability and advanced technology, making them ideal for a variety of cutting tasks.

One of the standout features of the Jonsered CS 2141S and CS 2145S is their powerful engines. The CS 2141S is equipped with a 40.9cc engine, while the CS 2145S boasts a slightly more powerful 45.7cc engine. This difference in engine size translates to enhanced cutting performance, allowing users to tackle larger logs and more demanding jobs with ease. Both models deliver excellent power-to-weight ratios, ensuring that users can work for extended periods without excessive fatigue.

These models also incorporate advanced technologies that elevate their functionality. One notable innovation is the X-Torq engine, which reduces fuel consumption and emissions. This is particularly beneficial for environmentally conscious users, as it helps lessen the ecological footprint without compromising on power or performance. Additionally, the effective anti-vibration system minimizes the impact of vibrations on the user, enhancing comfort and control during operation.

Another key characteristic of the CS 2141S and CS 2145S is their ease of use and maintenance. The Quick Release Air Filtration system allows for efficient cleaning and replacement, ensuring that the engine performs at its best. Furthermore, the chain brake feature provides added safety by automatically stopping the chain in the event of kickback, making these chainsaws safer to operate.

Both models are designed for versatility, featuring adjustable oil pumps that allow users to regulate the flow of bar and chain oil for improved lubrication and extended chain life. The ergonomically designed handles offer optimal grip and control, which is essential for precision cutting.

In summary, the Jonsered CS 2141S and CS 2145S chainsaws are powerful and efficient tools equipped with advanced technologies that promote ease of use, safety, and environmental sustainability. Whether for professional forestry work or home woodcutting projects, these models are reliable choices that deliver outstanding performance and durability.
