CHAIN BRAKE

See figure 71 - 72.
■ Remove the clutch cover and clean the chain brake
components. Check wear on the brake band (A).
If brake band is worn or deformed, have it serviced
at your nearest authorised service dealer. The band
thickness should not be less than 0.60 mm (0.024
inch), or worn halfway through.
■ Always keep the chain brake mechanism clean (B)
and lightly lubricate the linkage (C).
■ Always test the chain brake performance after
servicing or cleaning. Refer to "Operation – Operating
Chain Brake" earlier in this manual for additional
information.
■ Check and, if damaged, replace the chain catcher.

TRANSPORTING THE PRODUCT

■ When carrying the product for short distance (from
one working area to the next), always apply the chain
brake so that the product is blocked with the engine
off.
■ Never carry or transport the product while the it is
running.
■ To prevent the leakage of fuel or oil and damage in
general, secure the product when it is transported.
■ Check the fuel and chain lubricant tanks for leaks.
Drain the tanks prior to transport.
STORING THE CHAINSAW (1 MONTH OR LONGER)
1. Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for
petrol.
2. Run the engine until it stops. This will remove all
fuel-lubricant mix that could become stale and leave
varnish and gum in the fuel system.
3. Drain all bar and chain lubricant from tank into a
container approved for lubricant.
4. Clean all foreign material from the saw.
5. Store it in a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible
to children.
NOTE: Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
Abide by all government and local regulations for the safe
storage and handling of petrol. Excess fuel should be
used in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.
