As the tool is used, the fuel tank and also the
oil tank are emptied continually. Before re-
plenishing with fuel, therefore, replenish the
oil tank as well if necessary.
Chain brake
WARNING!
Risk of accident!
The chain brake function is of significant im-
portance for chainsaw safety. If the chain brake
does not function, a kickback during operation
could result in very serious or even fatal injury.
Therefore, have chain brake malfunctions recti-
fied without delay in a specialist workshop.
The chainsaw is equipped with an automatic
chain brake.
If a kickback occurs during sawing, the brake
is triggered automatically by the force of iner-
tia on the mechanism of the front hand guard,
which stops the saw chain.
Triggering the chain brake manually
◼
Push the front hand guard forwards during
operation
−
The chain brake is engaged manually.
−
The saw chain is blocked.
Automatic chain brake
In the event of a powerful kickback, the chain
brake function is triggered automatically and
without delay.
Checking chain brake function
◼
Switch off the engine.
◼
Trigger the chain brake manually by push-
ing the front hand guard (chain brake
lever) forwards.
◼
Press the tip of the guide rail with saw
chain against some wood and try to turn
the saw chain.
If the saw chain blocks, the chain brake is OK.
If the saw chain does not block sufficiently or
at all, immediately stop work with the chain-
saw and have the malfunction rectified with-
out delay in a specialist workshop.
