4.4.
Confirm Chain Brake.
4.4.1.
Turn off the engine and push brake handle forward.
4.4.2.
Holding the chainsaw in a horizontal position, let go of the
front handle and rest the chain on a piece of wood or tree
stump, push the chainsaw forward, the brake should hold the
chain firm on the bar. Resistance level can vary depending on
bar size.
4.4.3.
If the chain brake is not effective, ask your dealer to inspect
the machine and adjust or repair the brake.
It is very important to maintain the proper chain tension.
Rapid wear of the guide bar or the chain coming off easily can be caused by
improper tension. Especially when using a new chain, take good care of it since
it may stretch when first used.

FUEL & CHAIN OIL
The fuel is highly flammable.
Do not smoke or bring any flame or sparks near fuel.
The use of without 2 stroke oil cause severe damage to the engine inner parts.
DO NOT use 4 stroke engine oil.
5.1.
Fuel Mixture ratios.
5.1.1.
Pre-mix 2-stroke oil with fresh unleaded petrol as follows:
5.1.1.1.
Mineral based 2-stroke oil : 25:1 (40ml of oil per 1 litre of petrol)
5.1.1.2.
Synthetic 2-stroke oil: 40:1 (25ml of oil per 1 litre of petrol)
5.2.
How to mix Fuel and Oil.
5.2.1.
Using the correct measuring container, measure out the correct quantities of petrol and 2-
stroke oil to be mixed.
5.2.2.
Put some of the unleaded petrol into a clean, approved fuel container.
5.2.3.
Pour in all of the oil and shake well.
5.2.4.
Pour in the rest of petrol and shake again for at least one minute.
5.2.5.
Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with unmixed
petrol or other containers.
Do not use waste or regenerated oil - this may cause damage to the oil pump
and increase chain and bar wear.
5.3.
Only use correct and special chainsaw oil.
The oil tank should become nearly empty by the time fuel is used up.
Make sure to refill the oil tank every time you re-fuel the chainsaw.
