20 Overload Cutout

The overload cutout interrupts the power supply
to the saw in the case of mechanical overload
due to, e.g.
– excessive feed force
– "lugging down" the motor
– pinching the saw chain in the cut
If the overload cutout has interrupted the power
supply:
► Pull the guide bar out of the cut.
► If necessary, disengage the chain brake – see
"Chain Brake".
20.1 MSE 170 C, MSE 190 C,
