Starting engine
1. Push the hand guard forward to engage the chain brake.
2. Pull the choke knob out. Move the ignition, switch to
start position.
3. If the chainsaw is fitted with a decompression valve(A),
please press the valve to reduce the pressure in the
cylinder and make starting easier.
4. Pull the starter handle several times until first firing
sound is heard. Push the choke knob all the way in to
open the choke, then pull the starter handle again.
5. Immediately press and release the throttle when the
engine starts. This will disengage the throttle latch. As
the chain brake is still activated, the engine must return
to latch in order to avoid unnecessary wear on the clutch
assembly.

Never start a chainsaw unless the bar, chain and all covers
are fitted correctly. See instructions under Assembly.
Without a bar and chain attached to the chainsaw, the
clutch can come loose and cause serious injury.
•
Never start the chainsaw indoors. Exhaust fumes can be
dangerous if inhaled.
•
The chain brake should be activated when starting. See
instructions under Start and Stop. Do not drop start the
chainsaw. This method is very dangerous as you may
lose control of the chainsaw.
STARTING AND STOPPING
WARNING! Note the following before
starting:
The chain brake must be engaged when the
chainsaw is started to reduce the chance of
contact with the moving chain.
Never start a chainsaw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise, the clutch can
come loose and cause personal injuries.
Place the chainsaw on firm ground. Make sure you
have a secure footing and that the chain cannot touch
anything.
Keep people and animals well away from working
areas.
WARNING! Do not start the engine while
holding the chainsaw with one hand. The
saw chain may touch your body and cause
serious injury.
Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the chainsaw.
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
dust from sawdust can represent a health
risk.
NOTE! Pull the front hand guard towards the front
handle. The chain brake is now disengaged. Your
chainsaw is ready for use.
CAUTION! Once the chainsaw has started the valve
will automatically return to its closed position.
CAUTION! If the starter handle is pulled after the first
firing sound is heard and the choke knob is in the start
position, excess fuel will enter the engine causing the
engine to fail to start.
