applications to the P.T.O. that are not specified by the manufacturer.
6.10.7. It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut.
6.10.8. Apply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle.
6.10.9. When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force,
but instead use a wedge or a lever to open up the cut to aid the release of the
saw.
6.11. Guarding against kickback.
6.11.1. This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in the event of
kickback if operating properly. You MUST check the chain brake operation
before each use by running the saw at full the throttle for 1-2 seconds and
pushing the front hand guard forward. The chain should stop immediately with
the engine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does not stop, get your
dealer to check and repair brake.
6.11.2. It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked for proper
operation before each use and that the chain is kept sharp in order to
maintain the kickback safety level of this saw. Removal of any of the safety
devices, inadequate maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the bar or chain
may increase the risk or serious personal injury due to kickback.
