Transport and storage
• Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no
risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames from electrical equipment,
electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.
• Always store fuel in an approved container designed for
that pur
pose.
• For longer periods of storage or for transport of the
chain sa
w, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be
emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and
chain oil at your local petrol station.
• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
ser
vice is carried out before long-term storage.
• The bar guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being tr
ansported or in
storage, in order to prevent accident contact with the
sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause
serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with
an exposed chain.
• Secure the machine during transport.
Long-term storage
Empty the fuel/oil tanks in a well ventilated area. Store the
fuel in approved cans in a safe place. Fit the bar guard.
Clean the machine. See instructions under the heading
Maintenance schedule.
Starting and stopping
Cold engine
Starting: The chain brake must be engaged when the
chain saw is started. Activate the brake by moving the front
hand guard forwards.
(21)
1. Air purge: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins
to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.
(24)
2. Choke: Pull the blue choke/fast idle lever out to the full
extent (to the
FULL CHOKE position). When the choke/
fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent, the correct
throttle setting is set automatically.
(22)
Start throttle:
The correct choke/start throttle setting is
obtained by moving the control to the choke position.
(23)
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain
saw on the ground by placing your right foot through the
rear handle.
3. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out
the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the
starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly.
Never
twist the starter cord around your hand.
(26)
CAUTION!
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.
4. Push in the choke control to the ”1/2 choke” setting as
soon as the engine fires which can be heard through a
"puff" sound.
(22)
5. Keep on pulling the cord powerfully until the engine
starts.
(27) Allow engine to warm for thirty seconds, then
squeeze throttle trigger to set normal idle.
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 pressing the throttle trigger once. This prevents
unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and brake band.
Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front hand
guard back (marked ”PULL BACK TO RESET”) towards
the front handle.
(28) The chain saw is now ready for use.
There is a simplified start reminder with illustrations to
describe each step on the rear edge of the saw (A)
.
Warm engine
Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position. Set
the throttle to the start position by pulling out the blue
choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in
again.
(25)
• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers 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.
(29)
• The chain brake should be activated when starting. See
instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do not
drop start. This method is very dangerous because you
may lose control of the saw.
(30)
• 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.
(31)
Stopping
Stop the engine by pressing down the stop button. (32)
!
WARNING! Note the following before
starting:
The chain brake must be engaged when
the chain saw is started to reduce the
chance of contact with the moving chain
during starting.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar,
chain and all covers are fitted correctly.
Otherwise the clutch can come loose
and cause personal injuries.
Place the machine on firm ground. Make
sure you have a secure footing and that
the chain cannot touch anything.
Keep people and animals well away from
the working area.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
