CHECKING THE OIL SUPPLY
WARNING: Make sure to set up
the bar and the chain when
checking the oil supply. If not, the
rotating parts may be exposed. It is
very dangerous.
After starting the engine, run the
chain at medium speed and see if
the chain oil is scattered as shown
in the figure.
CHAIN BRAKE
This machine is equipped with an
automatic brake to stop saw chain
rotation upon occurrence of
kickback during saw cutting. The
brake is automatically operated by
inertial force, which puts on the
weight fitted inside the front guard.
This brake can also be operated
manually with the front guard
turned down to the guide bar.
To release the brake, pull up the
front guard toward the front
handle till a “click” sound is
heard.
CAUTION: Be sure to confirm
brake operation during daily
inspection.
