STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 20 and 21.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return to idle. To stop the engine, move the Ignition Switch to the

In the event that the Ignition Switch will not stop the saw, pull the choke lever out to the fully extended position (See Figure 17) and engage chain brake to stop the engine.
If the Ignition Switch will not stop the saw when set to the stop “ O ” position, have the Ignition Switch repaired before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe conditions or serious injury.
Important: When you are finished using the saw, relieve tank pressures by loosening the CHAIN OIL and FUEL MIX caps. Then retighten the caps. Allow the engine to cool before storing.
