CHAIN BRAKE
The CHAIN BRAKE is a device de-
signed to stop the chain if kickback oc-
curs. The chain brake activates auto-
matically in the event of kickback. The
chain brake activates manually if the
front hand guard is pushed forward.
The chain brake is disengaged by pull-
ing the front hand guard back toward
the front handle as far as possible.
CHAIN TENSION
It is normal for a new chain to stretch
during first 30 minutes of operation.
You should check your chain tension
frequently. See CHAIN TENSION in the
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section.
'_ WARNING: Muffler is very hot
during and after use. Do not touch the
muffler or allow combustible material
such as dry grass or fuel to do so.
