In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer
inspection and repairing.
The engine, If being kept rotated at high speed with the
brake engaged, heats the clutch, causing a trouble.
When the brake is operated while in operation,
immediately release your fingers from the throttle lever
and stop the engine.
■STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle
for a few minutes.
2. Set the switch to the “O” (STOP) position. (F17)

Carburetor anti-freeze mechanism
Operating the chain saws in temperatures of 0–5°C at
times of high humidity may result in ice forming within
the carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output
power of the engine to be reduced or for the engine to
fail to operate smoothly.
This product has accordingly been designed with a
ventilation hatch on the right side of the surface of the
cylinder cover to allow warm air to be supplied to the
engine and to thereby prevent icing from occurring.
Under normal circumstances the product should be
used in normal operating mode, i.e., in the mode to
which it is set at the time of shipment. However when
the possibility exists that icing may occur, the unit
should be set to operate in anti-freeze mode before
use.(F18)
(1) Normal operating mode
(2) Anti-freeze mode
(3) Cylinder cover
(4) ‘Sun shine’ mark
(5) ‘Snow’ mark
Continuing to use the product in anti-freeze mode
even when temperatures have risen and returned
to normal may result in the engine failing to start
properly or in the engine failing to operate at its
normal speed, and for this reason you should
always be sure to return the unit to normal
operating mode if there is no danger of icing
occurring.
