OPERATION
STARTING THE ENGINE
See Figures 6 - 11.
Starting the product differs depending on whether the engine
is cold or warm.
WARNING:
Keep your body to the left of the chain line. Never straddle
the saw or chain, or lean over past the chain line.
Place the chain saw on level ground and ensure that no
objects or obstructions are in the immediate vicinity that
could come in contact with the bar and chain.
Hold the front handle firmly with your left hand and put
your right foot onto the base of the rear handle.
To start a cold engine:
Set the ignition switch to the RUN ( I ) position.
Make sure the chain brake is in the run position by pulling
back on the lever/hand guard.
Fully press and release the primer bulb 7 times.
Pull choke lever all the way out to FULL position.
While squeezing both the trigger release and throttle trig-
ger, push in the throttle lock button. Release the throttle
trigger. This latches the trigger for starting.
When the temperature is above 50°F, pull the starter
grip until the engine attempts to start, but no more than
3 times. When the temperature is below 50°F, pull the
starter grip until the engine attempts to start, but no more
than 5 times.
