In case the brake is not effective, 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 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 the “O” (STOP) position.

■ CARBURETOR ANTI-FREEZE MECHANISM
Operating chain saws in temperatures of 0 – 5°C at
times of high humidity may result in ice forming within
the carburetor, and 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
insulator 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.
Stop the engine, remove the cylinder cover and install
the grommet A to the appropriate position of the mode.
See Maintenance part for how to remove the cylinder
cover.
