A
Starting the engine
Start the chain saw only after having assembled it com-
pletely and inspected!
Move at least 10 feet (3 m) away from the place where you
fuelled the saw.
Make sure you have a good footing, and place the saw on the
ground in such a way that the chain is not touching anything.
Engage the chain brake (lock).
Hold the tubular handle tightly with one hand and press the
chain saw to the ground.
Steady the rear handle by standing in the hand guard.

Cold start:
Prime the fuel pump (4) by pressing it several times until you
can see fuel in the pump.
Move the combination switch (1) up (choke position). This also
actuates the half-throttle lock.
Pull the starter cable (5) out slowly until you feel resistance (the
piston is now just before top dead center).
Now pull it quickly and powerfully until you hear the rst
audible ignition.
CAUTION: Do not pull the starter cable more than about 20"
(50 cm) out, and let it back in slowly by hand.
When you hear the rst ignition, put the combination switch
(1) in position „I“ and pull the starter cable again.
As soon as the engine is running, grasp the rear handle (the
safety lock button (3) is actuated by the palm of the hand) and
press the throttle trigger (2).
The half-throttle lock will disengage and the engine will now
idle.
CAUTION: The engine must be put in idle immediately after
starting. If this is not done, the clutch can be damaged.
Now disengage the chain brake.
Warm starting:
As described above for cold starting, but before starting push the
combination switch (1) up (Choke position) and then right away
back to the middle „I“ position. This is only to engage the half-
throttle lock. If the engine doesn’t start after 2 or 3 pulls, repeat
the entire starting procedure as described for cold starting.
Stopping the engine
Push the combination switch (1) down to position .
NOTE: After being pressed down, the PS-45 combination switch
will revert to the „I“ position again. The engine is switched off,
but can be turned on again without moving the combination
switch.
IMPORTANT: To cut off the ignition current, push the combina-
tion switch all the way down past the resistance point to the
safety position ( ).
