Cold start:
Push the short-circuit switch (1) forward.
Pull out the choke (2).
Grasp the handle (thereby pressing in the grip safety (3) with
the palm of the hand).
Press and hold the throttle (4).
Push the half-throttle catch (5) and release the throttle (4) (the
half-throttle catch will hold it at half-throttle).
Slowly pull out the starter cable until you notice resistance (the
piston is positioned before the top dead centre).
Now pull the starter cable with a fast and forceful movement
until you hear the first ignition.
CAUTION: Do not pull out the starter cable more than approx.
20" (50 cm), and lead it back by hand.
After the first audible ignitions push in the choke (2) and pull the
starting cord again. As soon as the engine is running press the
throttle (4) slightly to release the half-throttle catch (5) so the
engine will idle.
Note: The engine must be brought to idle immediately after
starting, in order to prevent damage to the transmission.
Now release the chain brake.
Warm start:
As described above for cold starting, but without using the
choke (2).

Starting the engine
Do not start the saw until it has been completely assem-
bled and inspected!
Move at least 10 feet (3m) away from the place where you
fuelled the saw.
Make sure you have a good footing, and place the saw on the
ground in such a way that the chain is not touching anything.
Engage the chain brake (lock).
Grasp the rear handle firmly in one hand and hold the saw
firmly against the ground. Press with one knee on the rear
handle.
