STARTING AND STOPPING
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.
Ignition; choke: Slide the control to its rear position.
Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins
to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine, with the
following exceptions:
• Slide the control to its rear position.
• Slide the control back to its middle position (working
position).
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. 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.
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.
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.
Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front hand
guard back towards the front handle. The chain saw is now
ready for use.
!
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.
IMPORTANT! 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.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
dust from sawdust can represent a health
risk.
