Chain brake (16), if so equipped, is designed to activate in an emergency such as kick-back action. Please check to verify that it works properly before use. Application of brake is made by moving the front guard towards the OPERATING PROCEDURES bar. During the chain brake operation, even if the throttle lever is pulled, the engine speed does not increase and the chain does not Fuel (Fig. 7) turn. To release the brake, pull up the chain brake lever. WARNING ○ The chain saw is equipped with a two-stroke engine. Always run the engine on fuel, which is mixed with oil. Provide good ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel. ○ Fuel contains highly flammable and it is possible to get the serious personal injury when inhaling or spilling on your body. How to confirm: 1) Turn off the engine. 2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confirm brake operation. Operating level varies by bar size. Always pay attention when handling fuel. Always have good ventilation when handling fuel inside building. Fuel ○ Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline. ○ Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1, please consult the oil bottle for the ratio or Tanaka dealer. ○ If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil. ○ Never use multi-grade oil (10 W/30) or waste oil. ○ Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean container. Always start by filling half the amount of gasoline, which is to be used. Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline. Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before filling the fuel tank. In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer for inspection and repairs. If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the brake engaged, the clutch will overheat causing trouble.
