m
A new saw chain stretches, requiring adjustment after as few as 5 cuts. This is
normal with a new chain, and the interval between future adjustments will lengthen
quickly.
m
If the saw chain is
TOO LOOSE
or
TOO TAUT
, the drive wheel, chain bar, chain and
crank shaft bearing will suffer premature wear. Fig. 4/pos. X2 shows the correct tension
(when cold) and Fig. 4/pos. X3 shows the tension (when warm). Fig. 4/pos. X1 shows a
chain that is too loose.
3. CHAIN BRAKE MECHANICAL TEST
Your chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake that reduces the possibility of injury due
to kickback. The brake is activated if pressure is applied against the brake lever when,
as in the event of kickback, the operator's hand strikes the lever. When the brake is
actuated, chain movement stops abruptly.
m
WARNING
The purpose of the chain brake is to reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback;
however, it cannot provide the intended measure of protection if the saw is operated
carelessly. Always test the chain brake before using your saw and periodically while on
the job. (See below for details of how to perform a test of the mechanical brake).
4. TO TEST CHAIN BRAKE
•
The chain brake is
DISENGAGED
(chain can move) when the
BRAKE LEVER (5) IS
PULLED BACK (Fig. 11/pos. 2) AND LOCKED
shown in Fig. 11.
•
The chain brake is
ENGAGED
(the chain is locked) when the brake lever (5) is pulled
forward and the mechanism (shown in Fig. 10) can be seen. It should not be possible
to move the chain (Fig. 30).
m
WARNING
The brake lever should snap into both positions. If strong resistance is felt, or the lever
does not move into either position, do not use your saw. Take it immediately to a
professional Service Centre for repair.
5. FUEL AND OIL – RECOMMENDED FUELS
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special 2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel
mixture as indicated in the fuel mixing table.
