Warning: the purpose of the chain brake is to reduce the possibility of injury
due to kickback; however, it cannot provide the intended measure of
protection if the saw is operated carelessly. Always test the chain brake
before using your saw and periodically while on the job.
7.3.6 To test chain brake:
▪ The chain brake is disengaged (chain can move) when brake lever is pulled back and
locked. Be sure the chain brake latch is in the off position. (Fig. 7a)
▪ The chain brake is engaged (chain is stopped) when brake lever is in forward position and
the chain brake latch is in the on position. You should not be able to move chain. (Fig. 7b)
Note: the brake lever should snap into both positions. If strong resistance is
felt, or lever does not move into either position, do not use your saw. Take it
immediately to a professional service centre for repair.
Don’t let your motor run in high speed when your chain brake is activated.
8 FUEL AND LUBRICATION
8.1 Fuel
Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with 40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results.
Use mixing ratios in section fuel mixing table below.
Warning: never use straight gasoline in your unit. This will cause permanent
engine damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that product. Never
use a fuel mixture that has been stored for over 90 days.
Warning: 2-cycle lubricant must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled
engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil product with a
recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication is the cause of
engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warranty.
8.2 Mixing fuel
Add oil to an approved fuel container followed by the gasoline to allow incoming gasoline to mix
with oil. Shake container to ensure thorough mix.
Warning: Lack of lubrication voids engine warranty. Gasoline and oil must
be mixed at 40:1
