Cold start:

Prime the fuel pump (6) by pressing it several times until you
can see fuel in the pump.
Move the short-circuit switch (3) forward in the direction of the
arrow.
Turn the choke lever (5) up (see “Cold start” illustration). This
simultaneously actuates the half-throttle lock.
Slowly pull out the starter cable (4) until you notice resistance
(the piston is positioned before the top dead centre).
Now pull the starter cable with a fast and forceful movement
until you hear the fi rst ignition.
CAUTION: Do not pull out the starter cable more than approx. 50
cm, and lead it back by hand. For effi cient starting, it is important
to pull the starter cable quickly and powerfully.
Turn the choke lever (5) down (see “Warm start” illustration)
and pull the starter cable again. As soon as the engine is
running, grasp the rear handle (this actuates the grip safety (2))
and tap the throttle (1). This will release the half-throttle lock
and the engine will run in idle.
Caution: The engine is to be run at idling speed immediately
after starting or damage may occur to the chain brake.
Now release the chain brake.

Warm start:

As for cold start, except before pulling the starter cable, turn
the choke lever (5) briefl y to the “Cold start” position and
then immediately back to “Warm start” (this activates the
half-throttle lock).
Important: If the fuel tank has been completely emptied and the
engine has stopped due to lack of fuel prime the fuel pump (6) by
pressing it several times until you can see fuel in the pump.

Stopping the engine

Put the short-circuiting switch (3) in position „STOP“.

Starting the engine
Do not start the saw until it has been completely assembled
and inspected!
Move at least 3m away from the place where you fuelled the
saw.
Make sure you have a good footing, and place the saw on the
ground in such a way that the chain is not touching anything.
Engage the chain brake (lock).
Grasp the rear handle fi rmly in one hand and hold the saw
fi rmly against the ground. Press with one knee on the rear
handle.
IMPORTANT: The choke switch (5) is coupled to the throttle lever (1). It will revert to its original position automatically once
the throttle lever has been pressed.
If the throttle lever is pressed before the engine starts, then the choke switch (5) will have to be reset to the appropriate
position.
