The chain brake is also activated by the
inertia of the front hand guard if the
kickback force of the saw is high
enough: The hand guard is accelerated
toward the bar nose – even if your left
hand is not behind the hand guard, e.g.
during a horizontal cut.
The chain brake will operate only if the
hand guard has not been modified in any
way.
Checking operation of the chain brake
Before starting work:
N Disengage the chain brake.
N Switch on the motor.
N Push the hand guard towards the
bar nose.
The chain brake is working properly if
the saw chain comes to a standstill
within a few fractions of a second.
The hand guard must be free from dirt
and move freely.
Chain brake maintenance
The chain brake is subject to normal
wear. It is necessary to have it serviced
and maintained regularly by trained
personnel. STIHL recommends that you
have servicing and repair work carried
out exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. Maintain the following
servicing intervals:
The voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) must match
the voltage and frequency of the power
connection.
The minimum fuse protection of the
power connection must comply with the
specifications – see "Specifications".
The machine must be connected to the
power supply via an earth-leakage
circuit breaker to disconnect the power
supply if the differential current to earth
exceeds 30 mA.
The power connection must correspond
to IEC 60364 and relevant national
regulations.
Extension cords
If the fuse or circuit breaker is tripped
when you switch on the saw, use an
extension cord (at least 35 ft/10 m long)
that meets the specifications in the
following table.
If you use an extension cord that is too
long or has a conductor cross section
too small, it may cause an overload and
permanently damage the motor.
Cable drum
Always unwind the cord completely. It
should be equipped with thermal
protection.
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other).This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
Connecting to Wall Outlet
N Connect the power tool's plug or the
extension cord's plug to a properly
installed wall outlet.
Full-time usage: every 3 months
Part-time usage: every 6 months
Occasional usage: every 12
months
