STARTING AND STOPPING
20 – English
Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires and
keep pulling until the engine starts. When the engine
starts, quickly apply full throttle; the throttle start lock will
automatically disengage.
As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the
engine m
ust 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.
Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard bac
k towards the front handle. The chain saw
is now ready for use.
• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
co
vers 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
The engine is stopped by pushing the stop switch to the
stop position.

WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
