immediately release your fingers from the throttle lever
and stop the engine.
■ STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle
for a few minutes.
2. Set the switch to the “O” (STOP) position. (F8-10)
(1) Switch
Do not put the chain saw on the ground when the chain
is still moving. For additional safety, set the chain
brake when the saw is not in use.
In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the
saw, pull the choke knob out to the fully extended
position "FULL CHOKE" and engage chain brake to
stop the engine. If the ignition switch will not stop the
saw when set to the "STOP" position, have the ignition
switch repaired before using the chain saw again to
prevent unsafe conditions or serious injury.
When you are finished using the saw, always relieve
tank pressure by loosening, then retightening, the
chain oil and fuel mix caps. Allow the engine to cool
before storing.
Carburetor anti-freeze mechanism
Operating the chain saws in temperatures of 0–5°C at
times of high humidity may result in ice forming within
the carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output
power of the engine to be reduced or for the engine to
fail to operate smoothly.
This product has accordingly been designed with a
ventilation hatch on the right side of the surface of the
cylinder cover to allow warm air to be supplied to the
engine and to thereby prevent icing from occurring.
Under normal circumstances the product should be
used in normal operating mode, i.e., in the mode to
which it is set at the time of shipment. However when
the possibility exists that icing may occur, the unit
should be set to operate in anti-freeze mode before
