• Place the chain saw on level ground and ensure that no objects
or obstructions are in immediate vicinity which could come in
contact with the bar and chain. Hold the front handle firmly with
the left hand and put your right foot onto the base of the rear
handle, see illustration (A).
• Set the chain brake by pushing the chain brake lever / hand
guard forward (towards the bar), to the Brake Position as
shown in Illustration (B). Refer to Safety-Chain Brake and
Operation-Chain Brake Sections for additional information.

Choke), as shown in Illustration (E). Depress the throttle
trigger lockout (F) and squeeze the throttle trigger (G), depress
the half-throttle lock button (H) with your thumb and release the
throttle trigger (G). This sets the throttle trigger to the half-
throttle position.
• Depress the compression relief valve (J). Pull the starter rope
until the first firing of the engine is heard (no more than five (5)
pulls), a new unit may require additional pulls.
NOTE: Compression relief valve automatically resets
after the first firing.
• Push the choke lever (D) completely in to the engine run
position, as shown in Illustration (E).
• Depress the compression relief valve (J) and pull the starter
rope until the engine starts.
• Immediately after the engine has started, depress the throttle
trigger lockout (F), quickly squeeze and release the throttle
trigger (H). This releases the throttle trigger from the half-
throttle position and lets the engine idle. Place chain brake
lever / hand guard into the run position as shown in Illustration
(B). Refer to Safety-Chain Brake and Operation-Chain Brake
Sections for additional information.
NOTE - STARTING WARM ENGINE:
