STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 20 and 21.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return to
idle. To stop the engine, move the Ignition Switch to the
“ O ” 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 (See
Figure 17) and engage chain brake to stop the engine.
If the Ignition Switch will not stop the saw when set to the
stop “ O ” position, have the Ignition Switch repaired
before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe
conditions or serious injury.
Important: When you are finished using the saw, relieve
tank pressures by loosening the CHAIN OIL and FUEL
MIX caps. Then retighten the caps. Allow the engine to
cool before storing.
