Carburettor anti-freeze mechanism
Operating the chainsaw in temperatures of 0-5 ˚c
at times of high humidity may result in ice forming
within the carburettor, and this in turn may cause
the output power of the engine to be reduced or
for the engine to fail to operate smoothly. This
product has accordingly been designed with a
ventilation hatch the back of the air cleaner cover
to allow warm air to be supplied to the engine and
to thereby preventing icing from occurring. Under
normal circumstances the product should be used
in normal operating mode i.e in the mode to which
it is set at the time of shipment. However when
the possibility exists that icing may occur, the
unit should be set to operate in anti-freeze mode
before use (F15).
1. Flip the engine switch to turn off the engine.
2. Remove the air cleaner cover from the cylinder
cover.
3. Loosen a screw and remove the screen on the
back of the air cleaner cover.
4. Reattach the screen right side left so as to the
anti-icing plate is on properly. Reinstall the cover.

WARNING!
Continuing to use the product in anti-freeze mode even
when temperatures have rise and returned to normal
may result in the engine failing to start properly or in the
engine failing to operate in its normal speed, and for
this reason you should always be sure to return the unit
to normal operating mode if there is no danger or icing
occurring.
When using the saw with the anti-freeze mode fre-
quently check the screen and keep it clean of saw dust.
4.13. CHAIN BREAK
This machine is equipped with an automatic brake
system to stop chainsaw rotation upon occurrence of
kickback while in saw cutting operation. The brake is
automatically operated by an internal force which acts
on the weight fitted inside the front guard. This bark can
also be operated manually with the front guard turned
down to the guide bar (F16). To release the brake,
pull up the front guard toward the front handle till ‘click’
sound is heard.
CAUTION
Be sure to confirm brake operation on the daily inspection.
How to confirm:
1.Turn off the engine.
2.Holding the chainsaw 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 opera -
tion. Operating level varies by bar size (F17). Incase
the chain brake is not effective, send the chainsaw to
the authorised service center for repair. Do no open
the throttle while the chain brake is engaged. This will
cause damage to your chainsaw.
4.14. STOPPING THE ENGINE
• 1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine idling
for a few seconds.
• 2. Put the switch to the “O” (stop) position (F18).

safety section of this manual. It is recommended to first
practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get ac-
customed to your unit.
• Always follow the safety regulations. The chainsaw
must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to
cut other types of material. Vibrations and kickback
vary with different materials and the requirements of the
safety regulations would not be respected. Do not use
the chainsaw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting
objects. Do not mount the chainsaw to a stand. It is
forbidden to hitch tools to the chainsaw that are not
specified by the manufacturer.
• It is not necessary to force the chainsaw while cutting.
• When the chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to
pull it out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to remove
it.
4.16. GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK (F 19)
• This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will stop
the chain in the event of kickback. You must check the
chain brake operation before each usage by running
the saw at full throttle for 1-2 seconds and pushing
