CHAIN LUBRICATION TEST
Hold the chain just above a dry surface and open the
throttle to half speed for 30 seconds. A thinline of “thrown”
oil should be seen on the dry surface. (Fig. 1)
CHAIN BRAKE
1. Place the chain saw on the ground.
2. Hold the handle with both hands and accelerate the
engine to high speed by throttle trigger.
3. Operate the chain brake by turning your left wrist
against the front hand guard during your grip on the
front handle.The chain should stop immediately,
position (A), Fig. 2
4. Release the throttle trigger.
When the front hand guard is fully pulled towards the
operator, position (B) Fig. 2, chain brake is released.
NOTE
If the chain does not stop immediately, bring the saw
to your IBEA dealer to repair.
NON-MANUAL CHAIN BRAKE
The non-manual chain brake stops the operation of the
saw chain in such a manner that kickback action produced
at the end of the guide bar non-manually actuates the
chain brake.
To make sure that the non-manual chain brake operates
properly, proceed as follows:
1. Stop the engine of the chain saw.
2. Operate the front and rear handles with your hands
(grip them lightly), so that the guide bar may be placed
at the height of about 40 cm as shown in Fig. 3
3. Softly detach the left hand from the front handle, and
touch the end of the guide bar against the wood or the
like placed below so that the machine receives an
impact. At this time the rear handle should be gripped
lightly with right hand.
4. The impact is propagated to the brake lever, which
actuates the chain brake, Fig. 4
NOTE
- For practice, while cutting a small tree, push the
front guard forward to engage the brake.
- At all times, confirm whether the brake works
properly before each work.
- If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips,
function of the brake deteriores a little. Always
keep the device clean.
- Do not increase engine revolution while the chain
brake is engaged.
- Chain brake is used in emergencies. Do not use it
unless absolutely necessary.
- When using throttle latch at starting, keep the chain
brake position. And after starting the engine,
release the brake immediately.

THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY DUE TO
KICKBACK. YOU ALWAYS CHECK
THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WORKS
PROPERLY BEFORE USE
