Continuing to use the product in 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 normal operating mode if there is no danger of icing occurring.
When using the saw with the anti-freeze mode, frequently check the screen and keep it
clean of saw dust.
CHAIN BRAKE
This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to stop saw chain rotation upon
occurrence of kickback while in saw cutting operation. 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. (F16) To release
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
