CHAIN BRAKE
The CHAIN BRAKE is a device designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The chain brake activates automatically in the event of kickback. The chain brake activates manu- ally if the front hand guard is pushed forward. The chain brake is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back toward the front han- dle as far as possible.
CHAIN TENSION
It is normal for a new chain to stretch during first 30 minutes of operation. You should check your chain tension frequently. See CHAIN TENSION in the ASSEMBLY section.
WARNING: Muffler is very hot dur- ing and after use. Do not touch the muffler or allow combustible material such as dry grass or fuel to do so.
