Top: Tensioning the chain Bottom: Checking chain tension Chain Brake (Quickstop model on,ly) Chain brake engaged The chain brake is actuated by means of the front hand guard. STINt. tension the Oilomatic chain by turning the tensioning screw (4) clockwise and watching that the drive link tangs are properly located in the groove on the underside of the bar. Hold the bar up and turn tensioning screw (4) until the Oilomatic chain fits snugly against the underside of the bar. While still holding the bar nose up, tighten down the collar nuts (1) securely. The Oilomatic chain is correctly tensioned when it fits snugly against the underside of the bar but can still be pulled easily along the bar by hand. Engaging the chain brake When the hand guard is moved towards the nose of the guide bar the actuating lever automatically unlatches the brake lever and the spring-assisted brake band is clamped round the clutch drum at the same instant. This causes the saw chain to be brought to a standstill and locked in position. Releasing the chain brake The locked saw chain must be released before cutting can be continued. To do this, pull the hand guard back against the handlebar - this disengages the brake band from the clutch drum. Important: Apart from starting and emergencies, the chain brake may be engaged only when the saw is idling. The chain brake is subject to normal wear. It is therefore necessary to have it regularly serviced and maintained by trained personnel, (STIHL servicing dealer) to insure that it is always in good working order. 5
