Checking Chain Lubrication; Chain Brake - Stihl MS 360 C Instruction Manual

Checking Chain Lubrication

The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
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
oil level in tank before starting work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes
After breaking in chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
"Checking Chain Tension".

Chain Brake

Introduction
Your saw features a chain braking
system with two functions:
1) It is a standard STIHL chain brake
activated either manually or by
inertia in certain kickback situations.
2) In addition, the new system stops
chain rotation within a second of you
letting go of the rear handle.
To avoid personal injury during cutting,
observe the characteristics that make
this saw different from saws that do not
have such a braking system. Before
operating the saw for the first time, make
sure you are familiar with how the
system works. See chapter "Starting".
