STOP
OPERATION
Pull starter grip until engine runs, but no more
than 5 times. If engine does not start after 5
pulls, use cold engine starting procedure.
Squeeze and release the throttle trigger to return
the engine to idle.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 12 - 13.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return
to idle. To stop the engine, move the ignition switch
to the STOP (
) position. Do not put the chain
saw on the ground when the chain is still moving.
For additional safety, set the chain brake when the
saw is not in use.
In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the
saw, pull the choke lever out to the fully extended
position (FULL CHOKE ) and engage chain brake
to stop the engine. If the ignition switch will not
stop the saw when set to the STOP position, have
the ignition switch repaired before using the chain
saw again to prevent unsafe conditions or serious
injury.
NOTE: When you are finished using the saw,
always relieve tank pressure by loosening, then
retightening, the chain oil and fuel caps. Allow the
engine to cool before storing.
ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED
See Figure 14.
If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates,
but will not idle, turn the idle speed screw “T”
clockwise to increase idle speed.
If the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed
screw “T” counterclockwise to reduce the
idle RPM and stop the chain movement. If the
saw chain still moves at idle speed, contact an
authorized service center for adjustment and
discontinue use until the repair is made.
