MS 360 C
Your STIHL 036 C is equipped with a
triple activated chain braking system. As
before, the chain brake can be activated
manually by pushing the front hand
guard toward the bar nose or by inertia
in certain kickback situations. In
addition, the new system stops chain
rotation within a second of you letting go
of the rear handle. The locked chain is
not released until you press down the
throttle trigger interlock lever again to
operate the throttle.
The braking system may be activated in
three ways:
1
By inertia in certain kickback
situations
2
Manually via the front hand guard
3
Manually via the rear handle (new
function)
The activating mechanism for function 3
is integrated in the throttle trigger
interlock lever (rear handle).
One of the
big advantages of this system is that the
saw chain is automatically locked in
position for engine starts and when
carrying the running saw by the front
handle (with the rear handle released).
To avoid personal injury during
cutting, observe the characteristics
that make the STIHL 036
C different
from saws that do not have such a
braking system.
Before operating
the STIHL 036 C for the first time,
make sure you are familiar with how
the system works. Pay special
attention to the chapters "Chain
Brake" and "Starting" in this manual.
