IMPORTANT! Be sure to confirm brake operation every time
you use the chainsaw and periodically during use.
HOW TO CHECK IF THE CHAIN BRAKE IS
FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY
1. Turn off the engine and leave until cold.
2. With the chainsaw on a flat surface and the chain tensioned
correctly, engage the chain brake by pushing it forward until an
audible click is heard. Then, wearing protective gloves, attempt
to move the chain by hand in the direction of normal rotation;
if this is not possible, the chain brake has been engaged. If the
brake is engaged when the chain is rotating at high speed for
extended periods of time, this can cause damage to the clutch
or cause it to fail completely. When the brake is activated whilst
cutting, immediately release it having first released the throttle
lever and set the chainsaw swtich to ‘O’.
STOP THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle for a few
seconds.
2. Set the switch to the ‘O’. position.
IMPORTANT: Do not put the chainsaw on the ground while it
is still running. For additional safety, switch the chainsaw off
when not in use or between cuts. In the event that the ignition
switch will not stop the saw, pull the choke control out and
engage the chain brake to stop the engine.
NOTE: When you have finished using the saw, always relieve
the tank pressure by loosening, then retightening, both tank
caps. Allow the engine to cool before storing.
