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

Locking chain with chain brake
– in an emergency
The chain is stopped and locked when
the hand guard is pushed toward the bar
nose by the left hand – or when brake is
activated by inertia in certain kickback
situations.
Releasing the chain brake
N Pull the hand guard back towards
the front handle
The chain brake is designed to be
activated also by the inertia of the
front hand guard if the forces are
sufficiently high. The hand guard is
accelerated toward the bar nose - even
if your left hand is not behind the hand
