2. Checking the saw chain tension
○ If the saw chain tension is incorrect, there is
a risk of damage to the saw chain or guide
bar and malfunction. Referring to steps 5 to
7 'Installing (replacing) saw chain,' ensure an
appropriate tension is set.
○ While the saw chain is still new, it is particularly
stretchy, so periodically check the tension and
adjust as required.
○ Also check the knob is securely tightened.
3. Checking operation of chain brake (Fig. 13)
WARNING
● Although the chain brake is an emergency
stop device, this is not completely reliable.
Operate carefully to avoid the risk of
kickback.
● The chain brake is intended for use in
emergencies and when starting up. Do not
use it indiscriminately.
● To avoid impaired movement of the chain
brake due to buildup of sawdust etc., clean
regularly.
● The chain brake
component to ensure safe use.
If you have any concern regarding the
brake operation, request repair from your
Hitachi Authorized Service Center.
Actuation
Pull
Chain brake
The chain brake is an emergency stop device that
stops the saw chain when the unit is subject to
kickback etc., to reduce risk.
(Refer to 'Causes and operator prevention of
kickback.')
When activating the chain brake by pushing the
brake lever forward, the saw chain stops moving.
If you pull the brake lever toward you, the brake is
released.
When confi rming the operation of the chain brake,
always switch the unit off , remove the battery,
activate the brake lever and pull the saw chain by
hand.
If the saw chain does not move, this means the
chain brake is activated.
NOTE
Always wear thick gloves for this task.
Since the saw chain blade is very sharp, pulling
it hard risks injuring your fi ngers.

4. Checking the chain oil
○ This unit is delivered without chain oil inside.
Ensure the oil tank is fi lled with the chain oil
provided before use. (Fig. 14)
○ Periodically check the oil sight glass during
work and replenish oil as required.
○ When you press the light switch on the switch
panel, an LED light turns on and the internal
light improves visibility. (Fig. 15)
(Check this in step 6.)
Light switch
Oil sight glass
○ If the chain oil supplied runs out, use Hitachi
chain oil sold separately or equivalent chain oil
on the market.
○ The chain oil lubricates automatically.
The discharge rate for auto lubrication is
factory preset to the maximum.
To reduce the discharge rate, turn the oil pump
adjuster on the rear of the body clockwise.
(Fig. 16)
NOTE
○ The oil tank capacity is about 2.7 fl .oz (80 ml).
Even if overfi lled, excess oil will escape from
the overfl ow spout.
○ We recommend that you stock up with chain oil.
If you continue working without chain oil, the
saw chain may burn through, or the motor may
fail.
