START AND STOP
Start and stop
!WARNING!
•Never start the saw engine without the bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) assembled - or else the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries.
•Always move the saw away from the fueling area before starting.
•Place the saw on clear ground and make sure that the chain is not contacting anything. Also, make sure that you have a secure footing.
•Keep people and animals well away from the working area.
Cold engine
STARTING:
The chain brake should be activated when starting the chain saw. Activate the chain brake by pushing the front hand guard forwards.
IGNITION:
Move the ignition switch to startposition.
CHOKE:
Set the choke control in choke position.
FAST IDLE:
Combined choke/fast idle is received when the choke is moved to choke position.
Warm engine
Use the same procedure as for starting cold engine but without choke. Fast idle is recived by first set the choke control in choke position, and then back again.
Start
Grip the front handle with your left hand and hold the saw down by putting your right foot in the rear handle. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until the starter pawls engage. Then pull sharply. Never wrap the starter cord around your hand.
Push in the choke control immediately when the engine ignites and make repeated starting attemps. Immediately press and release the throttle when the engine starts. That will disengage the throttle latch.
As the chain brake is still activated the engine must return to idling speed as soon as possible by disengaging the throttle latch in order to avoid unnecessary wear on the clutch assembly.
CAUTION! Do not release the starter handle from fully pulled out position as this can cause damage on the saw.
Pull the front hand guard towards the front handle. The chain brake is now disengaged. Your saw is now ready for use.
Stop
The engine is stopped by switching off the ignition. (Move the ignition switch to stop position.)
