WARNING: The chain must not move when the engine runs at idle speed. If the chain moves at idle speed refer to CARBU- RETOR ADJUSTMENT within this manual. Avoid contact with the muffler. A hot muffler can cause serious burns.

To stop the engine move the switch to the STOP or OFF position.

To start the engine hold the saw firmly on the ground as illustrated. Make sure the chain is free to turn without contacting any object.

Use only 15”---18” of rope per pull.

Hold saw firmly while pulling starter rope

SAllow the engine to run for approximately five seconds. Then, squeeze and release

throttle trigger to allow engine to return to idle speed.

For a warm engine:

SPull the choke/fast idle lever out to the full extent, then push the choke/fast idle lever back in completely (to the OFF CHOKE position).

Slowly press the primer bulb six times.

Pull the starter rope quickly with your rightSS

hand until the engine starts.

S Squeeze and release throttle trigger, al- lowing engine to idle.

Difficult starting or flooded engine:

The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel by following the warm engine starting procedure listed above. Insure the ignition switch is in the ON or START position. Starting could require pulling the starter rope handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start, refer to troubleshooting chart or call 1-800-554-6723.

Important points to remember

When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full extent of the rope as this can cause the rope to break. Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold the handle and let the rope rewind slowly.

For cold weather starting, start the unit at FULL CHOKE; allow the engine to warm up before squeezing the throttle trigger.

Do not cut material with the choke/fast idle lever at the FULL CHOKE position.

For cold engine or warm engine after running out of fuel:

NOTE: In the following steps, when the choke/fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent, the correct throttle setting for starting is set automatically.

Choke Lever

SSlowly press the primer bulb six times. Pull the starter rope quickly with your right hand 5 times, then push the choke/fast

idle lever in completely (to the OFF CHO-S

KE position).

S Pull the starter rope quickly with your right hand until the engine starts.

IMPORTANT POINTS

SCut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics, masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.

SStop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign object. Inspect the saw and repair or re- place parts as necessary.

Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even

a small amount of dirt will quickly dull aS

chain and thus increase the possibility of kickback.

S Practice cutting a few small logs using the following techniques to get the “feel” of using your saw before you begin a major sawing operation.

S Squeeze throttle trigger and allow engine to reach full speed before cutting.

S Begin cutting with saw frame against log. S Keep the engine at full speed the entire

time you are cutting.

S Allow chain to cut for you. Exert only light pressure. If you force the cut, damage to bar, chain, or engine can result.

S Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the engine to idle. If you run the saw at full throttle with- out a cutting load, unnecessary wear can occur to the chain, bar, and engine.

S To avoid losing control when cut is com- plete, do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.

S Stop the engine before setting the saw down after cutting.

TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES

Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad- vance. Clear the work area. You need a clear area all around the tree so you can have secure footing. Study the natural con-
