when cold (Fig. 12.A).
Press the rubber button of the primer
to inject fuel into the carburettor
intake manifold to facilitate startup
when the engine is cold.

5.7 CHAIN BRAKE
This is a safety braking system that blocks
chain movement when kickback occurs during
cutting. Kickbacks occur following an irregular
contact of the tip of the bar, with a brusque
upward movement of the bar that causes the
hand to strike the front guard (Fig. 1.D).
It must be manually released to
disengage the chain brake.
Chain brake disengaged. This
is achieved when the front hand
guard (Fig. 1.D) is pulled all the
way back, towards the machine
body, until it clicks into position.
Chain brake engaged. This
is achieved when the front
hand guard (Fig. 1.D) is
pushed all the way forward.
Do not use the machine if the chain
brake does not function correctly and
have it inspected by your dealer.
