Starting
• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly.
• The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is
started. See the instructions under the heading Start.
Never air drop start the chain saw. This method is
extremely dangerous, as it is easy to lose control of the
chain saw. See the instructions under the heading Start.
• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and clutch
cover are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly.
• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can be
dangerous if inhaled.
• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no
risk of people or animals coming into contact with the
cutting equipment.
• Place the chain saw on the ground and hold the rear
handle down with your right foot. Grasp the front handle
firmly using your left hand. Make sure the chain saw is
steady and the chain is not touching the ground or other
objects. Then grasp the starter handle with your right hand
and pull the starter cord. Never twist the starter cord
around your hand.
Fuel safety
• Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or
mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
• Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point
before starting it.
