CHAIN BRAKE
This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to stop saw
chain rotation upon occurrence of kickback during saw
cutting.The brake is automatically operated by inertial force,
which acts on the weight fitted inside the front guard.
This brake can also be operated manually with the front guard
turned down to the guide bar.
To release the brake, pull up the front guard toward the front
handle till a “click” sound is heard.
[Caution]
Be sure to confirm brake operation during daily inspection.
How to confirm:
1)
Tum off the engine.
2)
Holding the chain saw horizontally,release you hard from
the front handle ,hit the tip of the guide bar to a stump or a
piece of wood, and confirm brake operation.Operating
level varies by bar size.
In case the brake is not effective ,ask our dealer for inspection
and repairs.
If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the brake
engaged, the clutch will overheat causing trouble.
When the brake engages during operation, immediately release
the throttle lever to stop the engine.

Carburetor anti-freeze mechanism
Operating chain saws in temperatures of 0-5
℃
at times of high
humidity may result in ice forming within the carburetor , 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
on the right side of the surface of the cylinder cover to allow warm
air to be supplied to the engine and to thereby prevent icing from
occurring.
Under normal circumstances the product should be used in the
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 the anti-freeze mode
before use.
Norml operating mode Anti-freeze mode
Cylinder cover
“Sunshine” mark “Snow” mark
Continuing to use the product in the anti-freeze
mode even when temperatures have risen and
returned to normal ,may result in the engine failing
to start properly or in the engine failing to operate at
its normal speed , and for this reason you should
always be sure to return the unit to the normal
operating mode if there is no danger of icing
occurring.
