The chain brake should be replaced by an authorized service agent
if any part is worn to less than 0.5mm (0.020”) thick.
Caution: The chain brake must be checked several times daily. The
engine must be running when performing this procedure. This is the
only instance when the chainsaw should be placed on the ground
with the engine running.
Starting a Warm Engine
1. Move ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
2. Then push the lever in to the HALF CHOKE position.
3. Pull the starter rope sharply with your right hand until the
engine starts.
4. Push the choke lever back to off position.
Difficult Starting (Or Starting a Flooded Engine)
The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started
after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel by
pushing the choke lever in completely (to the OFF CHOKE position)
and then following the warm engine starting procedure listed
above. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. Starting
could require pulling the starter rope handle many times depending
on how badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or seek help from an authorised service
agent.
CHAIN BRAKE (PIC. 23 & 24)
Place the chainsaw on firm ground. Grip the rear handle with your
right hand and the front handle with your left hand. Apply full
throttle by fully depressing the throttle trigger. Activate the chain
brake by turning your left wrist against the hand guard without
releasing your grip around the front handle. The chain should stop
immediately.
WARNING: If the brake band is worn too thin, it may
break when the chain brake is triggered. DO NOT USE IT.
It must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised
service agent to avoid a hazard.
Chain Brake
Ensure chain brake is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard
back toward the front handle as far as possible. The chain brake
must be disengaged before cutting with the chainsaw.
WARNING: The chain must not move when the engine
runs at idle speed. If the chain moves at idle speed refer to
CARBURETTOR ADJUSTMENT on page 29. Avoid
contact with the muffler. A hot muffler can cause
serious burns.
• This chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake. The brake is
designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs.
• The inertia-activated chain brake is activated if the front
hand guard is pushed forward, either manually (by hand) or
automatically (by sudden movement) (Pic. 24).
• If the brake is already activated, it is disengaged by pulling
the front hand guard back toward the front handle as far as
possible (Pic. 23 ).
• When cutting with the chainsaw, the chain brake must be
disengaged.
