STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle
for a few minutes.
2. Set the switch to the “O” (STOP) position.
Carburetor anti-freeze mechanism
Operating chain saws in temperatures of 0 – 5°C 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 pos-
sibility exists that icing may occur, the unit should be set
to operate in the anti-freeze mode before use.

(5) Anti-freeze mode
(6) Screen
(1) Air cleaner cover
(2) Shutter plate
(3) Screw
WARNING
• 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 prop-
erly 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.

HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN OPERATING MODES
Snow protector
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. Turn the screen a half and reinstall to the cover.
When using the saw with the anti-freeze mode, frequent-
ly check the screen and keep it clean of saw dust.
NOTE
When using the unit at times when it is snowing. Zenoah
recommends that you also use a snow protector effective
in preventing the air filter from freezing (e.g., the sepa-
rately-sold Z2881-98610 snow protector).

2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up in low speed
for a few minutes.
3. Turn the idle adjusting screw (T) counterclockwise so
that the saw chain does not turn. If the idling speed
is too slow, turn the screw clockwise.
4. Make a test cut and adjust the H needle for best cut-
ting power, not for maximum speed.

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 inspec-
tion.
How to confirm:
1) Turn off the engine.
2) Holding the chain saw 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.
In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer for in-
spection 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.
