OPERATION
ADDING BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT
See Figure 3.
Use HOMELITE Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is designed for chains and chain oilers, and is formulated to perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required. Chain saw should use approximately one tank of lubricant per tank of fuel.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise con- taminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the oil pump, bar, or chain.
nCarefully pour the bar and chain lubricant into the oil tank.
nFill the oil tank every time you fuel the engine.
OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE
See Figures 4 - 5.
Check the operating condition of the chain brake prior to each use.
nEngage the chain brake by rotating your left hand around the front handle, allowing the back of your hand to push the chain brake lever/hand guard toward the bar while the chain is rotating rapidly. Be sure to maintain both hands on the saw handles at all times.
nReset the chain brake back into the RUN posi- tion by grasping the top of the chain brake lever/hand guard and pulling toward the front handle until you hear a click.
WARNING:
If the chain brake does not stop the chain immediately, or if the chain brake will not stay in the run position without assistance, take the saw to an authorized service center for repair prior to use.
