Releasing the chain brake
Check operation of chain brake
Information Before You
Start
Before starting work: Run engine at idle
speed, engage the chain brake (push
hand guard toward bar nose).
Accelerate up to full throttle for no more
than 3 seconds – the chain must not
rotate. The hand guard must be free
from dirt and move freely.
The three positions of the Master
Control lever:
STOP
Chain brake maintenance
N
Pull the hand guard back toward the
front handle.
The chain brake is subject to normal
wear. It is necessary to have it serviced
and maintained regularly by trained
personnel, such as your STIHL servicing
dealer, at the following intervals:
Always disengage chain brake
before accelerating engine and
before starting cutting work. The
only exception to this rule is when
you check operation of the chain
brake.
Stop 0 – engine off – the ignition is
switched off.
Full-time usage:
Part-time usage:
Occasional usage:
every 3
months
Normal run positionF – engine runs or
can fire.
High revs with the chain brake
engaged (chain locked) will
quickly damage the powerhead
and chain drive (clutch, chain
brake).
every 6
months
To move the Master Control lever fromF
ton, press down the throttle interlock
and squeeze the throttle trigger at the
same time.
every 12
months
Starting throttle positionn – this
position is used to start a warm engine.
The Master Control lever moves to the
normal run position as soon as the
throttle trigger is squeezed.
The chain brake is designed to be
activated also by the inertia of the
front hand guard
if the forces are sufficiently high. The
hand guard is accelerated toward the
bar nose - even if your left hand is not
behind the hand guard, e.g. during a
felling cut. The chain brake will operate
only if it has been properly maintained
and the hand guard has not been
modified in any way.
