CHECKING THE BRAKE FUNCTION (continued)

•  The chain should stop immediately. 

•  Release the throttle trigger. 

PRE CUTTING TEST

•  Familiarize yourself with your chain saw before you start cutting. 

•  For this purpose it may be wise to practice by cutting some small 

logs or limbs several times. 

•  Do not allow either people or animals 15m into the work area. Multiple operators - Keep a safe distance between two or 

more operators when working together simultaneously. Fig 9. 

CHAIN LUBRICANT

•  Hold the chain just above a dry surface and open the throttle to half speed for 30 

seconds A thin line of “thrown” oil should be seen on the dry surface. Fig 10. 

RELEASE THE CHAIN BRAKE

•  When front hand guard is fully pulled towards the operator, chain brake is released. 

•  If the chain does not stop immediately, bring the saw to your Bushranger dealer to repair. 

      

WARNING

Most hazardous is the kickback motion of the guide bar such that, in an instant the tip of the bar touches a wood or the 
like. Chain brake reduced the possibility of injury due to kickback. You must always check that chain brake works properly 
before use. 

NON-MANUAL CHAIN BRAKE

The non-manual chain brake stops the operation of the saw chain in such a manner that kickback action produced at 
the end of the guide bar non-manually actuates the chain brake. To make sure that the non-manual chain brake operates 
properly, proceed as follows:
a. Stop the engine of the chain saw. 

b. Operate the front and rear handles with hands (grip them lightly), so that the guide bar may be placed at the height of 
about 35cm as shown in the figure aside. 

c. Softly detach the left hand from the front handle, and touch the end of the guide bar against the wood or the like placed 
below so that the machine receives an impact. (*at this time the rear handle should be gripped lightly with right hand). 
The impact is propagated to the brake lever, which actuates the chain brake.

NOTE: 

•  For practice, while cutting a small tree, push the front guard forward to engage the brake. 

•  At all times, confirm whether the brake works properly before each work. 

•  If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, function of the brake deteriorates a little. Always keep the device clean.

CHECKING THE BRAKE FUNCTION 

OF THE BRAKE

 

 

 

•  Place the chain saw on the ground. 

•  Hold the handle with both hands and 

accelerate the engine to high speed by 

throttle trigger. 

•  Operate the chain brake by turning your 

left wrist against the front hand guard 

during your grip on the front handle. 

•  The chain stop immediately. 

•  Release the throttle trigger.

PRE CUTTING TEST 

 

 

 

•  Familiarize yourself with your chain saw 

before you start cutting. 

•  For this purpose it may be wise to practice 

by cutting some small logs or limbs 

several times. 

•  Do not allow either people or animals 

into the work area. Multiple operators 

- Keep a safe distance between two or 

more operators when working together 

simultaneously.

CHAIN LUBRICANT

Hold the chain just above a dry surface and 

open the throttle to half speed for 30 seconds

A thin line of “thrown” oil should be seen on 

the dry surface.

 

RUNNING

•  After engine starts, allow it to idle for a few 

minutes. 

•  Squeeze throttle trigger gradually to 

increase engine revolution. 

•  The chain starts moving when the engine 

reaches 3,800 r/min approximately. 

•  Ensure proper acceleration and lubrication 

of saw chain and guide bar. 

•  Do not run the engine at high speed 

unnecessarily. 

•  Be sure that saw chain stops moving when 

throttle trigger is released.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

 

 

 

 

 

•  Release throttle trigger and turn ignition 

switch down.

NOTE

•  When engine does not stop, pull choke 

control knob all the way out to stop engine. 

•  Check and repair ignition switch before 

starting the engine again.

CHECKING CHAIN TENSION

•  Chain tension should be checked 

frequently during work and corrected if 

necessary. 

•  Tension the chain as tight as possible, but 

so it can still be pulled easily along the bar 

by hand.

WARNING DANGER

 

Make sure that the engine is shut off when 
checking chain tension.
