ON/STOP SWITCH
The ON/STOP SWITCH is used to stop the engine.
THROTTLE TRIGGER
The THROTTLE TRIGGER controls engine speed.
THROTTLE LOCKOUT
The THROTTLE LOCKOUT must be pressed before you can squeeze the throttle trigger. This feature prevents you from accidentally squeezing the trigger.
CHOKE/FAST IDLE LEVER
The choke and fast idle are set by pulling the CHOKE/FAST IDLE LEVER out to the full ex- tent for cold starting or after refueling. The choke provides additional fuel to the engine during cold starting.

The PRIMER BULB circulates fuel to the carburetor to provide quicker starting.
CHAIN BRAKE
The CHAIN BRAKE is a device designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The chain brake activates automatically in the event of kickback. The chain brake activates manu- ally if the front hand guard is pushed forward. The chain brake is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back toward the front han- dle as far as possible.
CHAIN TENSION
It is normal for a new chain to stretch during first 15 minutes of operation. You should check your chain tension frequently. See CHAIN TENSION under the ASSEMBLY section.
WARNING: Muffler is very hot dur- ing and after use. Do not touch the muffler or allow combustible material such as dry grass or fuel to do so.
