Starting the warm engine
Use only 1, 2, 7, and 9 of the starting procedure for a cold engine.
If the engine does not start, use the same starting procedure as for a

Chain lubrication test
Check that chain oil is discharged properly. When the saw chain starts
to revolve, point the head of the guide bar to a stump, etc., and pull the
throttle trigger to perform high-speed operation for around 10 seconds.
If chain oil is sprayed over the stump, it is discharged properly. (Fig. 16)

Chain brake operation (Fig. 17)

Fig. 17
Chain brake (18), is designed to activate in an emergency such as kick-
back action. Please check to verify that it works properly before use.
Application of brake is made by moving the front hand guard towards
the bar. During the chain brake operation, even if the throttle trigger
is pulled, the engine speed does not increase and the chain does not
turn. To release the brake, pull up the front hand guard.
How to confi rm:
1) Turn off the engine.
2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your hand from the
front handle, hit the tip of the guide bar to a stump or a piece
of wood, and confi rm brake operation. Operating level varies by
bar size.
In case the brake is not eff ective, ask our 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 trigger to stop the engine.
WARNING
Do not carry the machine with the engine running.
