Be sure to confirm brake operation on the daily
inspection.
How to confirm:
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 confirm
brake operation. Operating level varies by bar size.
In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer
inspection and repairing.
The engine, if being kept rotated at high speed with the
brake engaged, heats the clutch, causing a trouble.
When the brake is operated while in operation,
immediately release your fingers from the throttle lever
and stop the engine.
■ Stopping engine
1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine idling
for a few minutes.
2. Move the switch lever downward.
