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
–
when starting
–
at idling speed
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.
