OPERATION

nPull starter grip and rope until engine runs, but no more than 5 times. If engine does not start after 5 pulls, use cold engine starting procedure.

nSqueeze and release the throttle trigger to return the engine to idle.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

See Figures 12 - 13.

Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return to idle. To stop the engine, move the on/ stop switch to the STOP () position. Do not put the chain saw on the ground when the chain is still moving. For additional safety, set the chain brake when the saw is not in use.

In the event that the on/stop switch will not stop the saw, pull the choke lever out to the fully extended position (FULL CHOKE ) and engage chain brake to stop the engine. If the on/stop switch will not stop the saw when set to the STOP position, have the on/stop switch repaired before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe conditions or serious injury.

NOTE:  When you are finished using the saw, always relieve tank pressure by loosening, then retightening, the chain oil and fuel caps. Allow the engine to cool before storing.

ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED

See Figure 14.

nIf the engine starts, runs, and accelerates, but will not idle, turn the idle speed screw “T” clockwise to increase idle speed.

nIf the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed screw “T” counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the chain movement. If the saw chain still moves at idle speed, contact an authorized service center for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.
