STARTING AND STOPPING
English – 23
1153137-49 Rev.1 2009-12-29
As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the
engine must be set to idling as soon as possible, this is
achieved by disengaging the throttle lock.
Disengagement is done by gently touching on the throttle
trigger. This prevents unnecessary wear to the clutch,
clutch drum and brake band.
Allow the machine to idle a few seconds before giving full
throttle
.
CA
UTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
Note!
Pull the front hand guard towards the front handle. The
chain brak
e is now disengaged. Your saw is ready for use.
• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
cov
ers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached
to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause
serious injury.
• The chain brake should be activated when starting.
Se instr
uctions under the heading Start and stop. Do
not drop start. This method is very dangerous
because you may lose control of the saw.
• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.
• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no r
isk of people or animals coming into contact
with the cutting equipment.
•
Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand
should be on the rear handle
, and the left hand on the
front handle
. All people, whether right or left handed,
should use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
