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.

WARNING!

NEVER start the chain saw without activating the chain brake first!

Cold engine

CHAIN BRAKE:

Activate the chain brake by pushing the front hand guard forwards.

IGNITION and CHOKE: Move the lever to its rearmost position.

FAST IDLE:

Combined choke/fast idle is obtained when the lever is set at its rearmost position (choke position). Fast idle is maintained when the lever is then moved to the intermediate position (opera- ting position).

Warm engine

Follow the same start procedure as for a cold engine, however, with the following exceptions:

•Move the lever to its rearmost position.

•Then move the lever back to its intermediate position (operating position).

Start

Activate the chain brake by pushing the front hand guard forwards. Grip the front handle with your right hand and hold the saw down by putting your right knee on 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.

Move the lever to its intermediate position when the engine ignites and make repeated attemps.

When the engine starts, rapidly give full throttle. Then the throttle latch will disengage.

Release the chain brake by pulling the front hand guard towards the front handle.

CAUTION! Do not release the starter handle from fully pulled out position as this can cause damage on the saw.

Stop

The engine is stopped by switching off the ignition. (Move the ignition switch to stop position.)
