Checking Chain Lubrication; Chain Brake - Stihl MS 362 C-Q Manual De Instrucciones

Checking Chain
Lubrication
The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
Never operate your saw without
chain lubrication. If the chain runs
dry, the whole cutting attachment
will be irretrievably damaged
within a very short time. Always
check chain lubrication and the oil
level in the tank before starting
work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in the chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
"Checking Chain Tension".

Chain Brake

The chain brake system on your saw
has two functions:
N Standard STIHL chain brake and
N STIHL rear-handle-activated
secondary braking system
The standard STIHL chain brake utilizes
the front hand guard as the activating
mechanism and is designed to stop the
chain within fractions of a second. The
secondary braking system, on the other
hand, is designed to stop chain rotation
within a second of you completely letting
go of the rear handle.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or
property damage during cutting,
observe the characteristics that make
this saw different from saws not
equipped with a rear-handle-activated
brake. Before operating the chain saw
for the first time, make sure you are
familiar with how the secondary braking
system works.
Secondary chain brake activated by
throttle trigger lockout
N When you let go of the rear handle,
including the throttle trigger lockout
lever.
Disengaging the secondary chain
brake
N Press down the throttle trigger
lockout lever. This releases the
clutch drum and allows the chain to
rotate.
