OIL PUMP
This chain saw is equipped with an automatic oil pump. The oil
flow rate from the pump is not adjustable but fixed at an
optimum level by the factory for most cutting jobs. Whenever
refueling with fuel mix, always top up chain oil tank as well with
oil.
CAUTION! Break-in instructions for new saw chains:
Do not start cutting immediately but run engine
briefly at half throttle speed and wait for oil mark to
appear by holding cutter bar towards a light surface
(fig.11).
Note: Never cut without chain lubrication. Check proper
functioning of oil pump and oil tank fill level each time before
cutting.
Caution! Never use waste engine oil.
CHAIN BRAKE (fig.12)
This chain saw is fitted with a chain brake which is activated
manually or by kick-back force.
The saw chain is stopped within a fraction of a second. The chain
brake is designed for emergency response and to stop the saw
chain moving during the starting procedure (refer to "safety
while starting", page 7).
Engage chain brake (closed): To manually engage
the chain brake, push hand guard toward the tip
of the guide bar (1).
To release chain brake (open): Pull hand guard
back towards the front handle until it noticeably
locks in place. (fig.12).
Automatic brake engagement:
The chain brake can be automatically
activated, if, while cutting, the guide bar
tip and fast moving chain contacts wood
or other objects. This results in a
condition known as "kick-back" during
which the reaction of the chain drives
the saw straight back towards the
operator. (fig. 13)
Warning! Modifications to the hand guard and brake
assembly are not permitted. While the chain brake
is engaged, the engine should only be operated at
idling speed. The brake has to be released before
increasing engine speed.
