The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
NOTICE
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".
The coasting brake brings the running
chain to a standstill when you fully let go
of the trigger switch.

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 guard, e.g.
