CUTTING METHODS
CHAIN BRAKE
IMPORTANT POINTS
S  Check chain tension before first use and
after 1 minute of  operation.  See CHAIN
TENSION in the ASSEMBLY section.
S  Cut wood only.  Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.
S  Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object.  Inspect the saw and repair or re-
place parts as necessary.
S  Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
andthus increasethepossibility  ofkickback.
S  Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques to get the“feel” ofus-
ing your  saw before  you begin  a  major
sawing operation.
WARNING:
If the  brake band is
worn too thin it  may break when the  chain
brakeistriggered.Withabrokenbrakeband,

rized service  dealer. Take your  unit to the
place of purchase if purchased from a ser-
vicing dealer,  or to the  nearest authorized
master service dealer.
S  This saw is equipped with a chain brake.
The brake is designed to stop the chain if
kickback occurs.
