Page 10

WARNING: The chain must not move when the engine runs at idle speed. If the chain moves at idle speed refer to CAR- BURETOR ADJUSTMENT within this manual. Avoid contact with the muffler. A hot muffler can cause serious burns.

To stop the engine move the ON/STOP switch to the STOP position.

To start the engine hold the saw firmly on the ground as illustrated. Make sure the chain is free to turn without contacting any object.

Use only 15″ -- 18″ (40 -- 45 cm) of rope per pull.

Hold saw firmly while pulling starter rope. Starter Rope Handle

Left Hand on Front Handle

Right Foot Through Rear Handle

WARNING: Do not attempt to throw or drop--start the chain saw. Doing so will put the operator at risk of serious injury due to loss of control of the chain saw.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full extent of the rope as this can cause the rope to break. Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold the handle and let the rope re- wind slowly.

For cold weather starting, start the unit at FULL CHOKE; allow the engine to warm up before squeezing the throttle trigger.

NOTE: Do not attempt to cut material with the choke/fast idle lever in the FULL CHOKE position.

If your engine still does not start after following these instructions, please call 1-800-554-6723.
