Before
cutting
with
your saw, test the CHAIN
BRAKE
as
follows:
1.
Place
the saw on a
firm
flat
surface.
2.
Follow the correct procedures to start the engine.
3.
Grasp
the rear handle
firmly
with
the
right
hand.®
4.
With
the
left
hand,
hold
the
front
handle (not the CHAIN
BRAKE
lever)
firmly.®
5.
Squeeze the
throttle
trigger
so
that
the chain begins to
move, then activate (push forward) the CHAIN
BRAKE
lever.
@
CAUTION:
Activate the CHAIN
BRAKE
SLOWLY
and
DELIBERATELY.
Be careful to keep chain
from
touching
surface:
don't
let saw tip forward.
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 CHAIN
BRAKE
is properly installed.
If the installation is correct, take thesawto 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 CHAIN
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.

the correct chain oil and
pump
manual oiler

tight
on saw.
