385CSX PREMIUM Chainsaw Chain Brake This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to stop the saw chain rotation upon the occurrence of kickback during saw cutting. The brake is automatically operated by inertial force, which acts on the weight fitted inside the front guard. The brake can also be operated manually by pushing the chain brake forward towards the guide bar.
Page 16
385CSX PREMIUM Chainsaw Kickback Safety Precautions Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Top contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.

385CSX PREMIUM Chainsaw Adjusting Oil Flow Rate Never fill the oil reservoir or adjust the oiler with the engine running. An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more frequent checks on the oil reservoir. To ensure sufficient lubrication, it may be necessary to check the oil level more frequently than at fuel tank refills.
