START AND STOP
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.
WARNING!
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot during and after use. This also applies during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard, especially when handling the saw near flammable substances or vapours.
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.
Cold engine
CHAIN BRAKE:
Disengage the chain brake by pulling the hand guard towards the front handle.
IGNITION; CHOKE:
Set the choke control in choke position. The stop contact will automatically be set to start 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.
