To test the operation of the chain brake, perform
the following steps (Fig. 6):
•
Place the chain saw on a fiat bare surface and
make sure no objects or obstructions that
could come in contact with the bar and chain
are in the immediate vicinity.
•
Disengage the chain brake by pulling the chain
kickback brake handle towards the front
handle.
•
Start the chain saw.
•
Push the chain kickback brake handle towards
the front of the saw. A properly functioning
hand brake will stop the movement of the
chain immediately. If the chain brake is not
working properly, do not use the chain saw
until it has been repaired by a qualified service
technician.
Warning!
brake works properly before each
use.
If the chain brake is clogged with
wood chips, the function of the chain brake may
deteriorate. Always keep the device clean.
Low Kickback Saw Chain
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter
can minimize the force of a kickback reaction by
preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply
at the kickback zone. Only use a replacement
chain that is equivalent to the original chain or has
been certified as a bw kickback chain per ANSI Bl
75.1. A low kickback tooth saw chain is a chain
that has met the kickback performance
requirements of ANSI 8175.1 (American National
Standard for Power Tools - Gasoline-Powered
Chain Saws-Safety Requirements) when tested on
the representative sample of chain saws below
3.8 cid. specified in ANSI Bl 75.1.
Confirm that the chain
CAUTION: As saw chains are
sharpened during their useful life,
they lose some of the low kickback
qualities and extra caution should be
used.
Guide Bar
This saw comes equipped with a guide bar that
has a small radius nose. Small radius noses
generally have less potential for kickback. When
replacing the guide bar, be sure to order the bar
listed in this manual.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Add the guide bar and apply the
saw chain lubricant
1. Remove the battery pack from the chain saw.
2. Clean the dust from the oil pot cover and the
surroundings to prevent dust from entering
the Oil tank when filling the oil.
3. Place the chain saw on the horizontal surface
and unscrew the oil pot cover counter-
clockwise.
4. Fill the lubricant in the oil pot up to the neck of
the oil
5. Close the oil pot cover and tighten it clockwise.
