STARTING AND STOPPING
Starting and stopping
WARNING! Note the following before
!starting:
The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is started to reduce the chance of contact with the moving chain during starting.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries.
Place the machine on firm ground. Make sure you have a secure footing and that the chain cannot touch anything.
Keep people and animals well away from the working area.
Never wrap the starter cord around your hand.
Starting: The chain brake should be activated when starting the chain saw. Activate the chain brake by pushing the front hand guard forwards.
Cold engine
Stopswitch; choke (A): Set the choke control in the choke position by pull the choke control outwards. This automatically sets the stop switch to the start position.
Air purge (B): Press the air purge repeatedly (at least 6 times) until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.

A
Decompression valve (C): Press the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder and make starting easier. You should always use the decompression valve when
starting the machine. Once the machine has started the valve will automatically return to its original setting.

Pull the starter handle (D): Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly until the engine fires. Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires which can be heard through a "puff" sound. Keep on pulling the cord powerfully until the engine starts.
Warm engine
Ignition; choke (A): The correct choke/start throttle setting for warm starting is obtained by moving the choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in again.
Start throttle: The correct choke/start throttle setting is obtained by moving the control as stated above.
Air purge (B): Press the air purge repeatedly (at least 6 times) until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.
Decompression valve (C): Press the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder and make starting easier. You should always use the decompression valve when starting the machine. Once the machine has started the valve will automatically return to its original setting.
Pull the starter handle (D): Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly until the engine fires.
