AUTOMATIC CHAIN BRAKE
Kickback produced from the tip of the guide bar will trip
the automatic chain brake. To make sure that the auto-
matic chain brake operates properly, follow these steps:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Hold the saw with the guide bar approximately 55 cm
(22 in.) above a wooden surface. Right hand should
hold the rear handle, and left hand should hold the front
handle.
3. Release the front handle and drop the end of the guide
bar against the wooden surface.
4. The impact should lock the chain brake.
IMPORTANT
When checking the operation of the automatic chain
brake, use a soft surface substance like wood to
provide the impact so the chain is not damaged.
WINTER OPERATION
Use the winter plug to prevent carburetor trouble in winter.
• Release the cylinder cover latch and remove cylinder
cover. Remove plug from warm weather position, and
install into cold weather “storage” position.
NOTICE
For operation at normal temperature return the plug
to its original place. (5°C, 41°F)

Rear handle should be gripped lightly with the
right hand.
