worn too  thin it may  break when  the chain
brake is triggered. With abroken brake band,
the chain brake  will not stop the chain.  The
chain brake should be replaced by an autho-
rized service dealer if any part is worn to less
than 0.020!  (0.5  mm) thick.   Repairs on  a
chain brake  should  be made by  an autho-

Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry,  non-wood   building   materials,
etc.
Stop the saw if the chain strikes  a foreign
object.  Inspect  the saw and repair  or re-
place parts as necessary.
Keep the chain out of dirt and sand.  Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and thus increase the possibility of kickback.
S  This saw is equipped with  a chain brake.
The brake is designed to stop  the chain if
kickback occurs.
S  Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques to get the “feel” of us-
ing  your saw  before  you begin  a  major
sawing operation.
S  The
inertia--activated
chain   brake   is
activated if the front hand guard is pushed
forward,  either   manually  (by   hand)  or
automatically (by sudden  movement).
S
Squeeze the  throttle trigger  and allow
the engine  to reach  full  speed before
cutting.
Begin   cutting   with  the   saw   frame
against the log.
S  If  the  brake  is  already   activated,  it  is
disengaged by pulling the front hand guard
