The Master Control Lever will move to the run position and the engine will settle down to idle speed. ► Disengage the chain brake, @ 13.2. Your chain saw is ready for operation. ► If the saw chain rotates when the engine is idling, shut off the engine, engage the chain brake and have the chain saw inspected by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer before further use. NOTICE Accelerating the engine while the chain brake is engaged or the chain is otherwise blocked (i.e., not able to turn) increases the load and will cause the clutch to slip continuously. This may occur if the throttle is depressed for more than a few seconds when the chain is pinched in the cut or the chain brake is engaged. To reduce the risk of overheating and damage to important components (e. g. clutch, polymer housing components), always disengage the chain brake before accelerating engine and before starting cutting work. The only exception to this rule is when you check operation of the chain brake, @ 17.1. 16 Shutting Off the Engine 16.1 Shutting Off the Engine WARNING The saw chain will continue to rotate for a short while after the throttle trigger is released. To avoid serious or fatal injury, avoid contact with the moving chain. To reduce the risk of personal injury from unintended activation or unauthorized use, shut off the engine, ensure the chain has stopped and engage the chain brake before walking with the saw or setting it down. 48 0458-787-8621-A
