CS-7310P
Automatic Chain Brake
Kickback produced from the tip of the
guide bar will trip the automatic chain
brake. To make sure that the
automatic chain brake operates
properly, follow these steps:
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Hold the saw with the guide bar
approximately 35 cm (14 inches)
above a wooden surface. Right
hand should hold the rear
handle, and left hand should hold
the front handle.
3.
Release the front handle and
drop the end of the guide bar
against the wooden surface.
4.
The impact should lock the chain
brake.
When checking the operation of the automatic chain brake, use a soft
surface substance like wood to absorb the impact so the chain is not
damaged.
Other Safety Precautions
1.
Do not operate a chainsaw with one hand! Serious injury to the
operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons
may result from one-handed operation. A chainsaw is intended for two-
handed use.
2.
Do not operate a chainsaw when you are fatigued.
3.
Use safety footwear, snug-fitting clothing and protective gloves. Wear
eye, hearing, and head protection devices.
4.
Use caution when handling fuel. Mix and pour fuel outdoors where
there are no sparks and flames. Slowly remove the fuel cap only after
stopping the engine and allowing the chainsaw to cool. Do not smoke
while fueling or mixing fuel. Move the chainsaw at least 10 feet (3 m)
from the fueling point before starting the engine.
5.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chainsaw when starting or
cutting with the chainsaw. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work
area.
6.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing,
and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
