Working in winter
In order to prevent carburetor icing in conditions of low tempe-
rature combined with high humidity, and below + 5°C in order
to get up to operating temperature faster, heated air can be
taken from the cylinder.
Remove the cover (see “Cleaning the air
Þ
lter”).
Remove the insert (
7
) and insert it as shown for winter opera-
tion.
If the temperature is above + 5°C (40°F) the engine needs to
induct cold air.
If this is not done, the cylinder and piston
can be damaged!
For temperatures above + 5°C (40°F) turn the insert 180° so
that after it is inserted the induction opening (
8
) is closed.
Put the cover back on.

Checking the chain brake
The chain brake must be checked before every use of the
saw!
Start the engine as described above (have a secure footing,
place the chain saw on the ground so that the chain and guide
bar are not near anything).
Hold the front handle
Þ
rmly, with your other hand on the rear
grip.
Let the engine run at medium speed and push the handguard
(
6
) in the direction of the arrow using the back of your hand,
until the chain brake engages. The chain should now stop im-
mediately.
Bring the engine back to idle and release the chain brake.
Caution: If the chain does not stop immediately in this test,
turn off the engine immediately. Do NOT use the chain saw
in this condition! Contact a MAKITA service centre.
