STARTING AND STOPPING

Starting and stopping

WARNING! Note the following before ! starting:

Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all covers are ﬁtted correctly. Otherwise the drive sprocket can come loose and cause personal injuries.

Make sure you have a secure footing and that the chain cannot touch anything.

If you need to start the chain saw in the tree, see instructions under the heading Starting the saw in the tree, under the section Working techniques.

Keep people and animals well away from the working area.

•Before inserting the battery into the machine, always check to see that the power trigger actuates properly and returnes to the ”OFF” position when released. To prevent the power trigger from being accidentally pulled, a power trigger lockout is provided.

•Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all covers are ﬁtted correctly. See instructions under the heading Assembly.

•Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with the cutting equipment.

•Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand should be on the top handle, and the left hand on the front handle. All people, whether right or left handed, should use this grip. Use a ﬁrm grip with thumbs and ﬁngers encircling the chain saw handles.

Starting

•Insert the battery in the machine. The battery should slide easily into the battery holder on the machine. If the battery does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

•Press on the lower part of the battery and push it in as far as it will go into the battery compartment. Make sure the latches snap in place properly.

•Press and hold the start button (>1 sec.) until the green LED is lit.
