START AND STOP
Start
Activate the chain brake by
pushing the front hand guard
forwards. Grip the front handle
with your right hand and hold
the saw down by putting your
right knee on the rear handle.
Pull the starter handle with
your right hand and pull out
the starter cord slowly until the
starter pawls engage. Then
pull sharply.
Move the lever to its
intermediate position when
the engine ignites and make
repeated attemps.
When the engine starts,
rapidly give full throttle. Then
the throttle latch will
disengage.
Release the chain brake by
pulling the front hand guard
towards the front handle.
CAUTION! Do not release the
starter handle from fully pulled
out position as this can cause
damage on the saw.

before starting.
• Place the saw on clear ground and make sure that the
chain is not contacting anything. Also, make sure that
you have a secure footing.
