Starting The Warm Engine; Chain Lubrication Test - Tanaka TCS 33EB Mode D'emploi

Starting the warm engine

Use only 1, 2, 7, and 9 of the starting procedure for a
cold engine.
If the engine does not start, use the same starting
procedure as for a cold engine.

Chain lubrication test

Check that chain oil is discharged properly. When
the saw chain starts to revolve, point the head of the
guide bar to a stump, etc., and pull the throttle trigger to
perform high-speed operation for around 10 seconds.
If chain oil is sprayed over the stump, it is discharged
properly. (Fig. 18)
Chain brake operation (Fig. 19)
Chain brake is designed to activate in an emergency
such as kick-back action. Please check to verify that it
works properly before use.
Application of brake is made by moving the front hand
guard (2) towards the bar. During the chain brake
operation, even if the throttle trigger is pulled, the engine
speed does not increase and the chain does not turn.
To release the brake, pull up the front hand guard (2).

How to confi rm the activation of the
chain brake
1) Turn off the engine.
2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your
hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide
bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confi rm brake
operation. Operating level varies by bar size.
In case the brake is not eff ective, ask our dealer for
inspection and repairs. If the engine keeps rotating
at high speed with the brake engaged, the clutch will
overheat causing trouble.
When the brake engages during operation, immediately
release the throttle trigger to stop the engine.

Do not carry the machine with the engine running.
Stopping (Fig. 21)
STOP
Decrease engine speed, and push ignition switch (17)
to stop position.

materials such as dried grass, since the muffl er is
still hot after the engine has stopped.
NOTE
If the engine does not stop, it can be forced to stop
by setting the choke lever to the choked position.
Before restarting the engine, ask
repairs.
WARNING
○ Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
