STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Operate this unit only in a well- ventilated
outdoor area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be lethal in a confined area.
WARNING: Never operate the saw without the bar and
chain properly installed.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Mix gas with oil. Fill fuel tank (A, Fig. 3) with fuel/oil mixture. See Oil and Fuel Mixing Instructions.
2.Fill the oil tank (B) with correct chain and bar oil (Fig. 3).
3.Be certain the Chain Brake® is disengaged (C) before starting unit (Fig. 3).
NOTE: see page 15 fig. 24.
4.Press red STOP switch to the “I” ON position (Fig. 4).
5.Pull the blue lever (D) out as far as it will go until the blue lever stays out (Fig. 5). This advances the throttle so you do not have to hold the trigger while starting.
6.Fully press and release the primer bulb (E) 10 times, slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in the primer bulb (Fig. 6). If you can’t see fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as many times as it takes before you can see fuel in it.
7.Place the saw on a firm flat surface. Hold saw firmly as shown (Fig. 7).
8.Pull the rope with a controlled and steady motion 4 times. Then move the blue lever (D) all the way in (Fig. 6).
9.Hold saw firmly and pull rope until saw starts. This could take 4 more pulls.
10.Let the saw warm up for 10 seconds. Depress and release trigger (F) for idle (Fig. 6).
NOTE: In some cases due to operating conditions (altitude,temperature, etc)your chain saw may need a slight adjustment to the idle speed.
1.locate idle adjustment screw(G). (fig. 6)
2.if saw will not
3.If chain turns while idling turn screw counterclockwise until chain stops.
11.If engine fails to start, repeat these instructions. NOTE: When starting a warm engine:
1.make sure switch is on
2.pull blue choke all the way out and then push it back
3.push primer10x or until you see fuel in the bulb
4.pull rope until engine starts
5.depress and release trigger for idle
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the engine to idle. If you run the saw at full throttle without a cutting load, unnecessary wear can occur to the chain, bar, and engine. It is recommended that the engine not be operated for longer than 30 seconds at full throttle.
2.Stop the engine before setting the saw down after cutting.
NOTE: For emergency stopping, simply activate the Chain Brake® and move the STOP switch down.
