Checking the chain brake

Do not work with the chain saw without first checking the

chain brake!

- Grasp the tubular handle firmly with one hand and hold the

grip with the other.

- Start the motor as described (make sure you have a good

footing, and place the chain saw on the ground in such a

way that the guide bar is free of contact).

- Switch on the motor and press the hand guard (1) in the

direction of the arrow with the back of your hand until the

chain brake engages. The chain should stop immediately.

- Switch the motor off Immediately and release the chain

brake.

Important: If the saw chain does not stop instantly when

you carry out this test, do not under any circumstances

use the saw! Take the chain saw to a DOLMAR service

center.

Checking the chain

lubrication

Never saw when a sufficient chain lubrication is not guaranteed.

Otherwise the life of the sawing device will be reduced. Before

starting work check the oil level in the tank and the oil feeding.

Check the fed oil quantity by following the instructions below:

- Start the electric chain saw.
- Hold the running chain saw approx. 15 cm above a trunk or

the ground (use an appropriate surface).

If the lubrication is sufficient, you will see a light oiltrace because

oil will be centrifuged from the chain saw. Pay attention to the

direction the wind is blowing and avoid unnecessary exposure

to the oil spray!
