Q

TB 32 Chain Saw

There are two

ways that a chain brake is engaged: manual and automatic.

Members can manually engage a chain brake by pushing the hand guard forward with the left hand.

Automatic engagement most often occurs when the chain saw kicks back, causing the left hand to

strike the hand guard. This occurs very quickly and the brake engages within ___ of a second.

Some chain saws are equipped with an inertia operated chain brake that engages whenever a violent movement of the chain saw occurs.

Weekly Checks

  1. Perform daily checks.
  2. Start chain saw.
  3. Depress manual oiler several times if chain saw is so equipped.
  4. Run up RPM by alternately depressing and releasing throttle trigger. Run until warm.

CAUTION
Do not run chain saw at full RPM without load for more than a few seconds or engine damage may result,.

  1. Check to see if chain is oiling properly.
  2. Place chain saw on firm surface. At idle speed, engage chain brake. Improper chain brake operation shall be reported to the shops.
  3. Shut off chain saw and allow to cool.
  4. Check chain tension and readjust if necessary.
  5. Inspect starter cord for fraying and contamination. Inspect security of starter cord handle.
  6. Top off fuel and chain lubricating oil levels if necessary.
