CHAIN
BRAKE
_,WARNING:
if the brake band is
worn too thin it may break when the chain
brake is triggered. With a broken brake band,
the chain brake will not stop the chain. The
chain brake should be replaced by an autho-
rized service dealer if any part is worn to less
than 0.020"
(0.5 mm) thick.
Repairs on a
chain brake should
be made by an autho-
rized service dealer. Take your unit to the
place of purchase
if purchased from a ser-
vicing dealer,
or to the nearest authorized
master service dealer.
• This saw 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).
• If the brake
is already
activated,
it is
disengaged
by pulling the front hand guard
back toward
the front handle as far as
possible.
• When cutting with the saw, the chain brake
must be disengaged.

CAUTION:
The chain brake
must be

several
times daily. The engine
must be running when performing
this proce-

should be placed on the ground with the en-
gine running.
Place the saw on firm ground. Grip the rear
handle with your right hand and the front han-
dle with your left hand.
Apply full throttle by
fully depressing
the throttle trigger. Activate

_WARNING:
When performing
the
following
procedure,
the engine
must be
turned off.
Grip the rear handle with your right hand and
the front handle with your left hand. Hold the
chain saw approximately
14" (35 cm) above
a stump or other wooden
surface. Release
your grip on the front handle and use the
weight of the saw to let the top of the guide
bar fall forward
and contact
the stump.
When the tip of the bar hits the stump, the
brake should activate.
IMPORTANT POINTS
• Check chain tension
before first use and
after 1 minute of operation.
See CHAIN
TENSION
in the ASSEMBLY
section.
• Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.
• Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object.
Inspect the saw and repair or re-
place parts as necessary.
• Keep the chain OL_of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and thus increase the possibility of kickback.
• Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques
to get the "feel" of us-
ing your saw before you begin a major
sawing operation.
•
Squeeze
the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to reach full speed before
cutting.
•
Begin
cutting
with
the
saw
frame
against the log.
