Fig. 17

Chain brake (18), is designed to activate in an emergency such as kickback action. Please check to verify that it works properly before use. Application of brake is made by moving the front hand guard towards the bar. During the chain brake operation, even if the throttle trigger is pulled, the engine speed does not increase and the chain does not turn. To release the brake, pull up the front hand guard.

How to confirm:

1) Turn off the engine.

2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confirm brake operation. Operating level varies by bar size.

In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer for inspection and repairs. If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the brake engaged, the clutch will overheat causing trouble.

When the brake engages during operation, immediately release the throttle trigger to stop the engine.

WARNING

Do not carry the machine with the engine running.

Stopping (Fig. 18)

Use only 1, 2, 7, and 9 of the starting procedure for a cold engine.

If the engine does not start, use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine.

Chain lubrication test

Check that chain oil is discharged properly. When the saw chain starts to revolve, point the head of the guide bar to a stump, etc., and pull the throttle trigger to perform high-speed operation for around 10 seconds. If chain oil is sprayed over the stump, it is discharged properly. (Fig. 16)
