The chain brake is disengaged by pull-
ing the front hand guard back toward
the front handle as far as possible.

It is normal for a new chain to stretch
during first 15 minutes of operation. You
should check your chain tension fre-
quently. See CHAIN TENSION under the
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section.
