STARTING THE COLD ENGINE 

 

 

 

•  Fill the fuel tank with 2 stroke fuel. 

•  Fill the chain oil tank with bar and chain 

lubricant. 

•  Press hand guard forward. (Chain brake 

ACTIVATED position). 

•  Turn ignition switch upside. 

•  Pull choke control knob all the way out.

•  Securely hold the chain saw. 

•  Make sure guide bar and saw chain are not 

touching anything when starting the saw. 

• 

Pull starter handle several times until first 

firing sound is heard.

 

•  Push choke control knob all the way in. 

•  Pull starter handle again.

 

 

 

WARNING DANGER

•  After choke control knob is pulled and then 

knob is returned to original position, throttle 

remains a little open (latch condition). 

•  If engine is started in this latch condition, 

chain starts to turn. DO NOT start engine 

before chain brake is activated.

NOTE

Do not pull starter rope out to the maximum 

position. Do not allow starter handle to snap 

back against the casing.

CAUTION

•  After starting the engine, squeeze trigger 

slightly to release throttle latch and pull 

front hand guard towards the operator 

immediately. (Chain brake RELEASED 

position). 

•  Do not increase engine speed while chain 

brake is engaged. 

•  Use the chain brake in an emergency. Do not 

use it unless absolutely necessary.

CAUTION

When throttle latch is used, saw chain will go 

into motion as soon as the engine starts. Never 

use throttle latch for cutting. Use it only when 

starting the engine.

STARTING WITH WARM ENGINE

• 

Confirm fuel and chain oil in the tanks.

 

•  Press hand guard forward. (Chain brake 

ACTIVATED position). 

•  Turn ignition switch up side. 

•  Securely hold the chain saw. 

•  Pull starter handle. 

•  Choke may be used if necessary but after 

first firing sound, pull throttle trigger a little to 

release throttle latch and choke.

CAUTION

Clutch engages and chain and will rotate when 

engine is started with throttle trigger squeezed. 

After engine starts release throttle trigger to idle 

position.
