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.
START AND STOP

Start

Grip the front handle with your
left hand and hold the saw
down by putting your right foot
in 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.
Push in the choke control
immediately when the engine
ignites and make repeated
starting attemps. When the
engine starts, rapidly give full
throttle. Then the throttle latch
will disengage.
CAUTION! Do not release the
starter handle from fully pulled
out position as this can cause
damage on the saw.

AStop

The engine is stopped by
switching off the ignition.

Cold engine

CHAIN BRAKE:
Disengage the chain brake by
pulling the hand guard
towards the front handle.
IGNITION:
Move the ignition switch to
startposition.
CHOKE:
Set the choke control in choke
position.
FAST IDLE:
Combined choke/fast idle is
received when the choke is
moved to choke position.
If the saw is fitted with a
decompression valve (A):
Press the valve to reduce the
pressure in the cylinder and
make starting easier. Always
use the decompression valve
when starting the saw. Once
the saw has started the valve
will automatically return to its
original setting.

Warm engine

Use the same procedure as
for starting cold engine but
without choke. Fast idle is
recived by first set the choke
control in choke position, and
then back again.
