Start and stop
WARNING!
Never start the saw engine without the bar, chain and
clutch cover (chain brake) assembled - or else the clutch
can come loose and cause personal injuries.
Always move the saw away from the fueling area 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.
Keep people and animals well away from the working area.
Start
Activate the chain brake by
pushing the front hand guard
forward.
Grip the front handle with your
left hand and hold the saw down
by putting your right foot in 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. Never twist
the starter cord around your
hand.
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 quickly disengaging
the throttle lock. This prevents
unnecessary wear to the clutch,
clutch drum and brake band.
Slide the control to its start
throttle position when the engine
fires and make repeated
attempts until the engine starts.
When the engine starts, quickly
apply full throttle to automatically
disengage fast idle.
Disengage the chain brake by
pulling the front hand guard
backwards.
CAUTION! Do not release the
starter handle from fully pulled
out position as this can cause
damage on the saw.
Reactivate the chain brake by
pushing the front hand guard
back towards the front handle.
The chain saw is now ready for
use.
Cold engine
STARTING:
The chain brake should be
activated when starting the
chain saw. Activate the chain
brake by pushing the front
hand guard forwards.
IGNITION: Set the stop switch
to the start position.
CHOKE: Set the choke
control in the choke position.
AIR PURGE:
Press the air purge diaphragm
repeatedly until fuel begins to
fill the diaphragm. The
diaphragm need not be
completely filled.
Warm engine
Use the same procedure as
for starting cold engine but
without choke. Fast idle is
recived by first set the choke
control in choke position, and
then back again.
Stop
The engine is stopped by
switching off the ignition.
Storage
The saw should always be stored upright on a flat surface.
