-Move at least 3m awayfrom the place where you fuelled the saw.

-Ensure to have a safe footing and put the chain saw on the floor such that the sawing device is con in contact with any object.

-Actuating the chain brake (blocking).

-Put the short-circuiting switch in position "I"(START) (B/I).

-Hold the tubular handle tightly with one hand and press the chain saw to the ground.

-Put your tip-toe in the back hand guard.

When working with a model equipped with a decompress- ion valve observe the following:

-Press switch (B/6) before starting the engine.

-The valve will close automatically after ignition has taken place.

Checking the chain brake

Do not work with the chain saw without first checking the chain brake!

-Start the engine as described (make sure you have a good footing, and place the chain saw on the ground in such a way that the guide bar is free of contact).

-Grasp the tubular handle firmly with one hand and hold the grip with the other.

-With the engine running at moderate speed, press the hand guard (C/6)in the direction of the arrow with the back of y w hand until the chain brake engages. The chain should stop immediately.

-Immediately release the throttle and release the chain brake.

IMPORTANT: If the chain does not stop immediately when you test the chain brake, do NOT use the chain saw. Take the chain saw to a MAKITA service center.

Cold start:

-Pull the choke (B/2).

-Press the safety switch (B/3).

-Pressthe throttle lever (B/4)and lock it with the stop button(BE).

-Slowly pull out the starter cable until you notice a resistance (the piston is positioned before the top dead centre).

-Now pull out the starter cable with a fast and forceful movement until you hear a first ignition.

Attention: Do not pull out the startercable morethan approx. 50 cm and lead it back by hand.

-Press the choke (B/2) and again pull the starter cable. As soon as the engine will run, touch the throttle lever (B/4) to disengage the stop button (BE).

Attention: As soon as the engine is started it must run without any load to prevent the chain brake from being

-Now release the chain brake. 8 @Jdamaged.

Warm start:

-As described in the section above (cold start), but without actuating the choke (B/2).

Switching off the engine @

-

Put the short-circuitingswitch (B/1) in position "0"(STOP).

Checking the chain lubrication

Never work with the chain saw when a sufficient chain lubrica- tion is not guaranteed. Otherwise the service life of the sawing device will be reduced.

Before starting work check the oil level in the tank and the oil feeding.

Check the oil feed quantity as described below:

-Start the chain saw.

-Hold the running chain saw approx. 15 cm above a trunk or the ground (use an appropriate base).

If the lubrication is sufficient,you will see a light oil trace because oil will be centrifuged from the sawing device.
