HOW TO CONFIRM:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Holding the chainsaw horizontally,
release your hand from the front
handle. Hit the tip of the guide bar to
a stump or a piece of wood, and
confirm brake operation. Operating
level varies by bar size.
In case the brake is not effective, ask
your dealer for inspection and
repairs.
If the engine keeps rotating at
high speed with the brake
engaged, the clutch will overheat
causing trouble. When the brake
engages during operation,
immediately release the throttle
lever to stop the engine.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever to allow
the engine to idle for a few minutes.
2. Set the switch to “O” (STOP)
position.
CARBURETOR ANTI-FREZE
MECHANISM
Operating chainsaws in
temperatures of 0 - 5° C at times of
high humidity may result in ice
forming within the carburetor. This, in
turn, may cause the output power of
the engine to be reduced or for the
engine to fail to operate smoothly.
This product has accordingly been
designed with a ventilation hatch on
the right side of the surface of the
cylinder cover to allow warm air to
be supplied to the engine and to
thereby prevent icing from occurring.
Under normal circumstances the
product should be used in the
normal operating mode, i.e. in the
mode to which it is set at the time of
shipment. However, when the
possibility exists that icing may
occur. The unit should be set to
operate in the anti-freeze mode
before use.
WARNING: Continuing to use the
product in the anti-freeze mode even
when temperatures have risen and
returned to normal, may result in the
engine failing to start properly or in
the engine failing to operate at its
normal speed. For this reason you
should always be sure to return the
unit to the normal operating mode if
there is no danger of ice.
HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN
OPERATING MODES
1. Flip the engine switch to turn off
the engine.
2. Remove the cover to the air
filter, remove the air filter, and
then remove the choke knob from
the cylinder cover.
3. Loosen the screws holding the
cylinder cover in place (i.e. the
three screws on the inside and the
one screw on the outside of the
cover), and then remove the
cylinder cover.
4. Press with your finger down on
the icing cap located on the right-
hand side of the cylinder cover to
remove the icing cap.
5. Adjust the icing cap so that the
“snow” mark faces upwards and
then return it to its original position
in the cylinder cover.
6. Fix the cylinder cover back into
its original position, and then fix all
other parts back into their proper
position.
