McCulloch MAC 140 - Starting and Stopping

6. The chain should stop abruptly. When it does, release
the throttle trigger immediately.
NOTE: If the chain does not stop, turn off the engine and
check to be sure the CHAI N BRAKE is properly installed.
If the installation is correct, take the saw to your McCulloch
dealer for repair or replacement of the CHAIN BRAKE
assembly.
The CHAIN BRAKE lever (hand-guard) provides the best pro-
tection against kickback when the saw is held at the top of the
front handle. As the left hand moves around the front handle
(toward the bottom of the saw) the CHAIN BRAKE becomes
increasingly difficult to activate. However, the CHAI N BRAKE
lever will act as a hand-guard if the saw is being held at any
point on the front handle. ®
DO NOT HOLD THE SAW BY THE CHAIN BRAKE LEVER.
STARTING AND STOPPING
Pre-start Checks
1. Fill the fuel tank with correct fuel mixture. Be certain not
to spill fuel on the saw and, if you do, allow saw to dry
out thoroughly before attempting to start or operate.
2. Fill the chain oil tank with the correct chain oil and pump
manual oiler until oil is seen at top of bar just forward of
the CHAIN BRAKE. ®®
3. Make sure the chain has correct tension and the bar is
tight on saw.
