INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Husqvarna River, for production of muskets. The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water-powered plant. During the more than 300 years of beeing, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different products, from wood stoves to modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the rst motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working today. Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our highest priority. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market motor driven products for forestry and gardening as well as for building and construction industry. Husqvarnas aim is also to be in the front edge according to ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different features to provide our products within these areas. We are convinced that you will appreciate with great satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for a very long time to come. The purchase of one of our products gives you access to professional help with repairs and service whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our authorised dealers, ask for the address of your nearest service workshop. It is our wish that you will be satised with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this operators manual as a valuable document. By following its content (using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and the second-hand value of the machine can be extended.

WARNING! Under no circumstances may the design of the machine be modied without the permission of the manufacturer. Always use genuine accessories. Non-authorized modications and/or accessories can result in serious personal injury or the death of the operator or others. WARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous tool if used carelessly or incorrectly and can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It is very important that you read and understand the contents of this operators manual. WARNING! The inside of the mufer contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged mufer. WARNING! Long term inhalation of the engines exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and dust from sawdust can represent a health risk. WARNING! This machine produces an electromagnetic eld during operation. This eld may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.
Always use common sense (2)
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can face when using a chain saw. Always exercise care and use your common sense. Avoid all situations which you consider to be beyond your capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating procedures after reading these instructions, you should consult an expert before continuing. Do not hesitate to contact your dealer or us if you have any questions about the use of the chain saw. We will willingly be of service and provide you with advice as well as help you to use your chain saw both efciently and safely. Attend a training course in chain saw usage if possible. Your dealer, forestry school or your library can provide information about which training materials and courses are available. Work is constantly in progress to improve the design and technology - improvements that

increase your safety and efciency. Visit your dealer regularly to see whether you can benet from new features that have been introduced. brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can prevent them. Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback zone of the bar never touches any object (45). The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release mechanism.(3) The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is pushed forwards or when the right-hand brake trigger (E) is pushed up and forwards (240e TrioBrake). (3) This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that tightens the brake band (C) around the engine drive system (D) (clutch drum). (4) The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if you lose grip of the front handle. The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is started to prevent the saw chain from rotating. Use the chain brake as a parking brake when starting and when moving over short distances, to reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting your leg or anyone or anything close by. To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard backwards, towards the front handle. Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most kickbacks are minor and do not always activate the chain brake. If this happens you should hold the chain saw rmly and not let go. The way the chain brake is activated, either manually or automatically by the inertia release mechanism, depends on the force of the kickback and the position of the chain saw in relation to the object that the kickback zone of the bar strikes. If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of the bar is farthest away from you the chain brake is designed to be activated by the inertia in the kickback direction. If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of the bar is closer to you the chain brake will be activated manually by the movement of your left hand. In the felling position the left hand is in a position that makes manual activation of the chain brake impossible. With this type of grip, that is when the left hand is placed so that it cannot affect the movement of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be activated by the inertia action.

Personal protective equipment
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents happen when the chain touches the operator. You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.
Approved protective helmet Hearing protection Protective goggles or a visor Gloves with saw protection Trousers with saw protection Boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and non-slip sole Always have a rst aid kit nearby. Fire Extinguisher and Shovel Generally clothes should be close-tting without restricting your freedom of movement. IMPORTANT! Sparks can come from the mufer, the bar and chain or other sources. Always have re extinguishing tools available if you should need them. Help prevent forest res.
Machines safety equipment
In this section the machines safety features and their function are explained. For inspection and maintenance see instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equipment. See instructions under the heading, What is what?, to nd where these parts are located on your machine. The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out professionally. If you need further information please contact your nearest service workshop.
Will my hand always activate the chain brake during a kickback?
No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard forward. If your hand only lightly touches the front guard or slips over it, the force may not be enough to trigger the chain brake. You should also maintain a rm grip of the chain saw handles while working. If you do and experience a kickback, your hand may never leave the front handle and will not activate the chain brake, or the chain brake will only activate after the saw has swung around a considerable distance. In such instances, the chain brake might not have enough time to stop the saw chain before it touches you. There are also certain positions in which your hand cannot reach the front hand guard to activate the chain brake; for example, when the saw chain is held in felling position.
WARNING! Never use a machine with defective safety components. Safety equipment must be inspected and maintained. See instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equipment. If your machine does not pass all the checks, take the saw to a servicing dealer for repair.

WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a re. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of res. These areas are sometimes subject to government rules requiring among other things the mufer must be equipped with an approved type of spark arrestor mesh (A). (6) CAUTION! The mufer gets very hot during and after use. This also applies during idling. Be aware of the re hazard, especially when working near ammable substances and/or vapours. WARNING! Never use a saw without a mufer, or with a damaged mufer. A damaged mufer may substantially increase the noise level and the re hazard. Keep re ghting equipment handy. If a spark arrestor screen is required in your area, never use the saw without or with a broken spark arrestor screen.

Chain catcher

The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps or jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is properly tensioned (see instructions under the heading Assembly) and if the bar and chain are properly serviced and maintained (see instructions under the heading General working instructions).

Right hand guard

Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or snaps, the right hand guard stops branches and twigs from interfering with your grip on the rear handle.

Vibration damping system

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier. The machines vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machines handle unit. The body of the chain saw, including the cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles by vibration damping units. Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting

Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to: Reduce the risk of kickback. Reduce the risk of the saw chain breaking or jumping off the bar. Obtain optimal cutting performance. Extend the life of cutting equipment. Avoid increasing vibration levels.

General rules
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us! See instructions under the heading Technical data. Keep the chains cutting teeth properly sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the recommended le gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents. Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our instructions and use the recommended depth gauge clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback. Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket. Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket. Chain pitch (inches). The spacing between the drive links of the chain must match the spacing of the teeth on the bar tip sprocket and drive sprocket. Number of drive links. The number of drive links is determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch and the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket. Bar groove width (inches/mm). The groove in the bar must match the width of the chain drive links. Chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner. The bar must be matched to the chain saw design. Chain Chain pitch (inches) Drive link width (mm/inches) Number of drive links.

one side rst, then turn the chain saw over and le the teeth on the other side. File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is worn out and should be replaced. (8) General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting (7) When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A) the depth gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal cutting performance the depth gauge (B) has to be led down to achieve the recommended depth gauge setting. See instructions under the heading Technical data to nd the correct depth gauge setting for your particular chain. Adjust the tension on the chain by turning the wheel down (+) for tighter tension and up (-) to loosen the tension. Lift tip of guide bar while adjusting tension. (12) Tighten the clutch cover by turning the knob clockwise while lifting tip of bar. (13) Fold the knob back in to lock the tensioning. (14)
Lubricating cutting equipment

Chain oil

WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting equipment may cause the chain to snap, which could lead to serious, even fatal injuries.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased if the depth gauge setting is too large!
Adjustment of depth gauge setting The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively. You will need a at le and a depth gauge tool. We recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth gauge. Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool, will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool. Use the at le to le off the tip of the depth gauge that protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel resistance as you draw the le along the depth gauge tool.
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and also maintain its ow characteristics regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather. As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for both maximum chain life and to minimise environmental damage. If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is recommended. Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous to you and damage the machine and environment. IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw chain before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk of the saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw chain becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming. Filling with chain oil All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication system. On some models the oil ow is also adjustable. The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil. However, this safety feature requires that you use the right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as recommended (a lean mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil). Checking chain lubrication Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip sprocket. Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface. If the chain lubrication is not working: Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed. Clean if necessary. Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean. Clean if necessary.

Tensioning the chain

WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal injury.
WARNING! Always wear approved protective gloves. Even a non-moving chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with an exposed chain.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack. Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A new chain has a running-in period during which you should check the tension more frequently. Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand. (9) Release the knob by folding it out. (10) Turn the knob anti clockwise to loosen the bar cover. (11)

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS / ASSEMBLY
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked. Clean and lubricate if necessary. If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying out the above checks and associated measures you should contact your service agent. Chain drive sprocket The clutch drum is tted with a Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the drum). Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket. Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket whenever you replace the chain. Checking wear on cutting equipment Check the chain daily for: Visible cracks in rivets and links. Whether the chain is stiff. Whether rivets and links are badly worn. Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points above. We recommend you compare the existing chain with a new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn. When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to only 4 mm the chain must be replaced. Bar Check regularly: Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove these with a le if necessary. (15) Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn. Replace the bar if necessary. (16) Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to running with a slack chain. To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily. Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by moving the front hand guard towards the front handle. Remove the knob and remove the clutch cover (chain brake). Take off the transportation ring (A). (17) Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar. (18) Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing forward on the top edge of the bar. Fit the clutch cover (chain brake) and locate the chain adjuster pin in the cut-out in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain t correctly on the drive sprocket and that the chain is in the groove on the bar. (19) Tension the chain by turning the wheel down (+). The chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the bar. (12) The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from the underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar knob by turning the knob clockwise. (13) When tting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain ensures good cutting performance and long life. (20)

WARNING! Never use a machine with visible damage to the spark plug guard and ignition cable. A risk of sparking arises, which can cause a re.

FUEL HANDLING / STARTING AND STOPPING

Transport and storage

Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked ames from electrical equipment, electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like. Always store fuel in an approved container designed for that purpose. For longer periods of storage or for transport of the chain saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your local petrol station. Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage. The bar guard must always be tted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being transported or in storage, in order to prevent accident contact with the sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with an exposed chain. Secure the machine during transport. rear handle. 3. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) then pull rmly and rapidly. Never twist the starter cord around your hand. (26) CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine. 4. Push in the choke control to the 1/2 choke setting as soon as the engine res which can be heard through a "puff" sound. (22) 5. Keep on pulling the cord powerfully until the engine starts. (27) Allow engine to warm for thirty seconds, then squeeze throttle trigger to set normal idle. As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the engine must be set to idling as soon as possible, this is achieved by quickly pressing the throttle trigger once. This prevents unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and brake band. Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front hand guard back (marked PULL BACK TO RESET) towards the front handle. (28) The chain saw is now ready for use. There is a simplied start reminder with illustrations to describe each step on the rear edge of the saw (A).

WARNING! Sometimes chips get stuck in the clutch cover causing the chain to jam. Always stop the engine before cleaning.
1 If you understand what kickback is and how it happens then you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. By being prepared you reduce the risk. Kickback is usually quite mild, but it can sometimes be very sudden and violent. 2 Always hold the chain saw rmly with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Wrap your ngers and thumbs around the handles. You should use this grip whether you are right-handed or left-handed. This grip minimises the effect of kickback and lets you keep the chain saw under control. Do not let go of the handles! 3 Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. Make sure you are standing rmly and that there is nothing in the way that might make you trip or lose your balance. Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a branch, nearby tree or some other object. Have control over the workpiece. If the pieces you intend to cut are small and light, they can jam in the saw chain and be thrown towards you. This is not necessarily dangerous in itself, but you may be surprised and lose control of the saw. Never saw stacked logs or branches without rst separating them. Only saw one log or one piece at a time. Remove the cut pieces to keep your working area safe. 4 Never use the chain saw above shoulder height and try not to cut with the tip of the bar. Never use the chain saw one-handed! (34) 5 You must have a steady stance in order to have full control over the chain saw. Never work standing on a ladder, in a tree or where you do not have rm ground to stand on. (35) 6 Always use a fast cutting speed, i.e. full throttle. 7 Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the bar, i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object. This is known as cutting on the push stroke. The chain tries to push the chain saw back towards the user. If the saw chain is jamming, the saw may be pushed back at you.

Basic safety rules

1 Look around you: To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your control of the machine. To make sure that none of the above might come within reach of your saw or be injured by falling trees. CAUTION! Follow the instructions above, but do not use a chain saw in a situation where you cannot call for help in case of an accident. 2 Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc. 3 Take great care when removing small branches and avoid cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches at the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by the chain and thrown back at you, causing serious injury. 4 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move

Checking, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equipment
Note! All service and repair work on the machine demands special training. This is especially true of the machines safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks described below we recommend that you take it to your service workshop. Any maintenance other than that described in this manual must be carried out by your servicing dealer (retailer). Switch off the engine and take off the ignition cable before repairs or maintenance
Make sure that you can stand and move about safely. Work on the left side of the trunk. Work as close as possible to the chain saw for maximum control. If possible, let the weight of the chain saw rest on the trunk. Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you move along the trunk. Cutting the trunk into logs See instructions under the heading Basic cutting technique.
Checking brake band wear Brush off any wood dust, resin and dirt from the chain brake and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair operation of the brake. (46) Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0.6 mm thick at its thinnest point. Checking the front hand guard Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects such as cracks.

General

The user must only carry out the maintenance and service work described in this Operators Manual. More extensive work must be carried out by an authorised service workshop.

English 19

MAINTENANCE
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make sure it moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the clutch cover. (47) Checking the inertia brake release Place the chain saw, with the engine switched off, on a stump or other stable surface. Release the front handle and let the saw fall by its own weight, rotating around the rear handle towards the stump. When the bar hits the stump the brake should be applied. (48) Checking the right-hand brake trigger (240e TrioBrake) Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects, such as cracks. Push the trigger up and forwards to check that it moves freely and is securely hinged to the clutch cover. Never carry or hang the saw by the trigger! This could damage the mechanism and disable the chain brake. (49) Checking the brake trigger Place the chain saw on rm ground and start it. Make sure the chain does not touch the ground or any other object. See the instructions under the heading Start and stop. Grasp the chain saw rmly, wrapping your ngers and thumbs around the handles. Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting your left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let go of the front handle. The chain should stop immediately. Note: The spark arrestor screen (A) on this machine is serviceable. (50) The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a machine with a mufer that is in poor condition. Never use a mufer if the spark arrestor mesh is missing or defective. For normal homeowner use, the mufer and spark arresting screen will not require replacement. After 75 hours of use, we recommend that your mufer be replaced by your authorized Husqvarna service dealer.

Air lter

The air lter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid: Carburettor malfunctions Starting problems Loss of engine power Unnecessary wear to engine parts. Excessive fuel consumption. Remove the air lter (3) after taking off the cylinder cover, screw (1) and lter cover (2). When retting make sure that the air lter seals tightly against the lter holder. Clean the lter by brushing or shaking it. (51) The lter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in water and detergent. An air lter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned completely. The lter must therefore be replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air lter must always be replaced. A HUSQVARNA chain saw can be equipped with different types of air lter according to working conditions, weather, season, etc. Contact your dealer for advice.
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lockout is released. Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it. Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move freely and that the return springs work properly. Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the throttle control and check that the chain stops and remains stationary. If the chain rotates when the throttle control is in the idle position you should check the carburettor idle adjustment.

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is inuenced by: Incorrect carburettor adjustment. An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil). A dirty air lter. These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting difculties. If the machine is low on power, difcult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug rst before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary. (52) Note! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder. Check that the spark plug is tted with a suppressor.
Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is rmly attached to the body of the chain saw.
Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects, such as cracks.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Make sure the vibration damping units are securely attached to the engine unit and handle unit.

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Never use a machine that has a faulty mufer. Regularly check that the mufer is securely attached to the machine.

Maintenance schedule
The following is a list of the maintenance that must be performed on the machine. Most of the items are described in the Maintenance section. Daily maintenance (Every 5-10 h) Weekly maintenance (Every 10-25 h) Monthly maintenance (Every 25-40 h) Check the starter, the starter cord and the recoil spring. Check the brake band on the chain brake for wear. Replace when less than 0.6 mm (0,024 inch) remains at the most worn point. Check the clutch centre, clutch drum and clutch spring for wear.
Clean the outside of the machine.
Check that the components of the throttle control work safely. (Throttle lockout and throttle control.) Clean the chain brake and check that it operates safely. Make sure that the chain catcher is undamaged, and replace it if necessary. The bar should be turned daily for more even wear. Check the lubrication hole in the bar, to be sure it is not clogged. Clean the bar groove. If the bar has a sprocket tip, this should be lubricated. Check that the bar and chain are getting sufcient oil. Check the saw chain with regard to visible cracks in the rivets and links, whether the saw chain is stiff or whether the rivets and links are abnormally worn. Replace if necessary.
