STIHL MS 241 C-M manual Between knees or thighs, Cranking, Starting the Saw

Between knees or thighs

2410BA002 KN

NHold the rear handle tightly between your legs, just above the knees.

NHold the front handle firmly with your left hand – your thumb should be under the handle.

Cranking

241BA003 KN

NPull the starter grip slowly with your right hand until you feel it engage – and then give it a brisk strong pull and push down the front handle at the same time. Do not pull out the starter rope to full length – it might otherwise break. Do not let the starter grip snap back. Guide it slowly back into the housing so that the starter rope can rewind properly.

Machines without additional manual fuel pump: If the engine is new or after a long out-of-service period or if the tank has been run dry (engine stops), it may be necessary to pull the starter rope several times to prime the fuel system.
