Checking Chain Lubrication; Chain Brake - Stihl MSE 220 Notice D'emploi

Checking Chain Lubrication

The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
Never operate your saw without chain
lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the
whole cutting attachment will be
irretrievably damaged within a very short
time. Always check chain lubrication and
the oil level in the tank before starting
work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in the chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
"Checking Chain Tension".

Chain Brake

Locking the chain
in an emergency
–
The chain brake is activated by pushing
the hand guard toward the bar nose with
your left hand – or by inertia in certain
kickback situations: The chain is
stopped and locked.
Disengage the chain brake.
Pull the hand guard back toward the
N
front handle.
The chain brake is also activated by the
inertia of the front hand guard if the
kickback force of the saw is high
enough: The hand guard is accelerated
toward the bar nose – even if your left
hand is not behind the hand guard, e.g.
during a horizontal cut.
The chain brake will operate only if the
hand guard has not been modified in any
way.
