8. Operating the engine
How to cofirm:
1) Turn off the engine.
2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your
hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide
bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confirm
brake operation. Operating level varies by bar size.
(F16)
In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer for
inspection and repairs.
If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the
brake engaged, the clutch will overheat causing
trouble.
When the brake engages during operation,
immediately release the throttle lever to stop the
engine.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle
for a few minutes.
2. Set the switch to the "O" (STOP) position. (F17)

Carburetor anti-freeze mechanism
Operating chain saws in temperatures of 0–5°C at
times of high humidity may result in ice forming within
the carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output
power of the engine to be reduced or for the engine to
fail to operate smoothly.
This product has accordingly been designed with a
ventilation hatch on the right side of the surface of the
cylinder cover to allow warm air to be supplied to the
engine and to thereby prevent icing from occurring.
Under normal circumstances the product should be
used in the normal operating mode, i.e., in the mode to
which it is set at the time of shipment. However when
the possibility exists that icing may occur, the unit
should be set to operate in the anti-freeze mode before
use. (F18)
