gine speed.
THROTTLE
LOCK-OUT
The THRO-FFLE LOCK-OUT must be
pressed before you can squeeze the
throttle trigger. This feature prevents you
from accidentally
squeezing the trigger.
CHOKE/FAST
IDLE LEVER
The choke and fast idle are set by pull-
ing the CHOKE/FAST IDLE LEVER out to
the full extent for cold starting or after
refueling. The choke provides additional
fuel to the engine during cold starting.
CHAIN BRAKE
The CHAIN BRAKE is a device designed
to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The
chain brake activates automatically in
the event of kickback. The chain brake
activates manually if the front hand
guard is pushed forward. The chain
brake is disengaged
by pulling 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 the first 15 minutes of operation.
You should check your chain tension
frequently. See CHAIN TENSION under
the MAINTENANCE section.
