A

Starting the engine

Start the chain saw only after having assembled it com-

pletely and inspected!

Move at least 10 feet (3 m) away from the place where you

fuelled the saw.

Make sure you have a good footing, and place the saw on the

ground in such a way that the chain is not touching anything.

Engage the chain brake (lock).

Hold the tubular handle tightly with one hand and press the

chain saw to the ground.

Steady the rear handle by standing in the hand guard.

B

Cold start:

Prime the fuel pump (4) by pressing it several times until you

can see fuel in the pump.

Move the combination switch (1) up (choke position). This also

actuates the half-throttle lock.

Pull the starter cable (5) out slowly until you feel resistance (the

piston is now just before top dead center).

Now pull it quickly and powerfully until you hear the rst

audible ignition.

CAUTION: Do not pull the starter cable more than about 20"

(50 cm) out, and let it back in slowly by hand.

When you hear the rst ignition, put the combination switch

(1) in position „I“ and pull the starter cable again.

As soon as the engine is running, grasp the rear handle (the

safety lock button (3) is actuated by the palm of the hand) and

press the throttle trigger (2).

The half-throttle lock will disengage and the engine will now

idle.

CAUTION: The engine must be put in idle immediately after

starting. If this is not done, the clutch can be damaged.

Now disengage the chain brake.

Warm starting:

As described above for cold starting, but before starting push the

combination switch (1) up (Choke position) and then right away

back to the middle „I“ position. This is only to engage the half-

throttle lock. If the engine doesn’t start after 2 or 3 pulls, repeat

the entire starting procedure as described for cold starting.

Stopping the engine

Push the combination switch (1) down to position .

NOTE: After being pressed down, the PS-45 combination switch

will revert to the „I“ position again. The engine is switched off,

but can be turned on again without moving the combination

switch.

IMPORTANT: To cut off the ignition current, push the combina-

tion switch all the way down past the resistance point to the

safety position ( ).
