START AND STOP

Start and stop

!WARNING! Before starting observe the following:

•Do not start the cut-off saw without the guide bar, chain and side cover fitted. Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injury.

•Always move the cut-off saw from the filling area before starting.

•Ensure that you and the machine stand firmly and that the cutting chain can rotate freely.

•Make sure no unauthorised persons are within the working area.

Starting a cold engine

IGNITION:

Slide the stop switch to the left.

CHOKE:

Pull out the choke.

STARTER THROTTLE CATCH

Press in the throttle control and thereafter the starter throttle catch (A). Release the throttle control and the throttle is blocked in half throttle position. The catch is released when the throttle control is pressed in all the way.

DECOMPRESSION VALVE Press in the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder, this makes starting the cut-off saw easier. The decom- pression valve should always be used when starting. When the machine has started the valve automatically returns to its original position.

Starting a warm engine

Use the same procedure as for starting cold engine but without choke.

Wet cutting

The diamond chain saw must always be run with water cooling. Dry cutting causes immediate overheating and bar and chain failure with a risk of personal injury. In addition to cooling the bar and chain, the flow of water pushes particles away from the bar and the drive links. As a result it is important with a high water pressure. The water pressure should be at least 2.5 bar and a maximum of 11 bar. The recommended pressure is approx. 5 bar.

Start

!WARNING! The cutting chain can rotate when the engine starts. Make sure it can rotate freely.

Take hold of the front handle using your left hand. Place your right foot on the lower section of the rear handle and press the cut-off saw against the ground. Never twist the starter cord around your hand.

Grip the starter with your right hand, and slowly pull the starter cord out until you feel some resistance (the pawls grip) now pull quickly and powerfully.

NOTE! Do not pull out the starter cord completely and do not release the starter from the fully extended position. This can damage the cut-off saw.

When the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle and the starter throttle catch will automatically disengage.

Stop

The engine is stopped by switching off the ignition. (Slide the stop switch to the right.)
