9   OPERATION & USE

This chainsaw must only be used by trained tree 
surgeons or other suitably qualified and 
competent persons.
Warning:

 Do not start the chain saw until it is fully 

assembled, correctly adjusted and all functions and 
controls are familiar.

9.1 COLD STARTING THE ENGINE

(FIGS.17 – 20)

Before starting, disengage the chain brake. Rest the 
chain saw on a stable surface. Move the stop switch

up and pull out the choke lever 

. Pump the 

primer 

4 to 6 times

repeatedly until fuel is 

visible in the bubble. This moves fuel up the lines to 
the head.

–  Firmly hold the top handle. With the other hand 

grip the recoil starter cord. Ensure the chain and 
bar are free and not touching any objects. Pull 
the starter using short, sharp movements.

Note:

 Do not use the full length of the recoil starter 

cord as this can cause breakage or premature 
failure. Do not release the starter cord to recoil on 
its own. Damage will occur to the mechanism.
–  If the engine fails to start after 5 – 6 attempts, 

try pushing in the choke to the throttle advance.

–  Continue operating the recoil starter

cord 

until the engine starts.

Caution:

 The chain will start rotating as the throttle 

is partially advanced.

Note:

 If there is a strong smell of fuel this indicates 

that the engine may be flooded. Wait a few 
minutes before attempting to restart the machine 
as if the engine were warm i.e. no choke.
When running, hold the chain saw firmly allowing 
it to warm for 20 seconds (pre heat).

–  Grip the top handle 

, covering the throttle 

trigger lockout 

 with the palm of your hand. 

Pull the throttle trigger 

 to release the 

throttle advance. The engine will now idle at 
normal tick over.

–  If pausing for more than a few seconds, engage 

the chain brake. Do not move more than three 
paces without engaging the chain brake and 
stopping the engine. 

–  Transport the chain saw with the bar guard in 

place.

Warning:

 The saw chain continues to move for a 

period after the throttle has been released.
