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.
