- CHAIN BRAKE
This machine is equipped with an automatic chain brake, this safety system will
protect you against a possible kickback by braking the grip of the cutting chain.
This brake can be operated manually by pushing the brake lever forward (B).
It is very important to verify that the chain brake is not activated when we go to work
with the machine, for this we will simply pull the brake lever towards the machine holding handle,
making sure that the brake is not forward.
In the event that we operate the machine with the chain brake on, we would severely
overheat the clutch area, chain brake cover and internal parts of the engine, causing a serious
internal and external failure.
- CHAIN BRAKE CHECK METHOD
1. Stop the engine
2. Find a sturdy piece of wood, such as a
cut log, lift the bar up and release the front
control.
Drop the guide bar with the weight of the machine so that it hits the wood.
With this action the brake should jump forward.
IMPORTANT:
In the event that, while working with the machine, the chain brake comes off, you
must immediately release the throttle trigger and turn off the engine.
- STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle trigger and let the
engine idle for a few minutes.
2. Place the switch in position "0" (stop).
6. USING THE CHAINSAW
Before starting the task, carefully read the section "for safe operation". Practice cutting
easy logs is recommended to familiarize yourself with the machine.
- Always follow the safety regulations. The chainsaw should only be used to cut
wood. Cutting other materials is prohibited. Do not use the chainsaw as a lever to lift, move or split
objects. Do not work with the chainsaw if there is an object between it and the work surface. It is
forbidden to apply any utensil or accessory to the power take-off of the chainsaw that is not indica-
ted by the manufacturer.
WARNING!
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure against it
while working at machine speed. If the saw gets stuck while cutting, do not try to force
it out. Use a wedge or crowbar to open the cut so that it can be released.
- KICKBACK PROTECTION
This chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake, to protect us from possible kickback
during work. Verify that this works correctly as indicated in section 5.
Also, it is worth testing the chain brake with the machine running, accelerating
two seconds and activating it.
