PRODUCT OPERATION
BEFORE USING
REFUELLING FUEL
ATTENTION
• Use only new, clean, ethanol-free, lead-free 95+ with two-stroke oil (25:1).
• Do not overfill the fuel tank.
• Do not use contaminated sediment or fuel to mix with two-stroke oil.
• Do not allow water or dirt to enter the tank.
• Tighten the filler cap firmly after adding fuel.
1. Clean the surface around the fuel cap to avoid contamination.
2. Slowly loosen the fuel cap. Place it on a clean surface.
3. Pour the fuel carefully into the tank. Avoid spills.
4. Before replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the gasket.
5. Immediately replace the fuel filler cap and tighten it by hand. Clean up any fuel spills.
ENGINE START
ATTENTION
• The starter handle can recoil very quickly before you can release it, which can pull your hand
strongly towards the engine and cause an injury.
• Do not allow the starter handle to jump backwards, but slowly by hand.
• When starting the engine, make sure that the sharp part is well away from third parties, animals
or objects as it may rotate during start-up.
• The cutting edge will engage and rotate when the engine is started and accelerated.
• The recoil starter can be damaged by abuse.
• As the engine starts or warms up, it will be possible to restart it, do this several times before
starting your work. Motors may run irregularly when cold or when first used.
1. Always remove the sword cover before starting your chainsaw.
2. If your chainsaw is equipped with a decompression valve, press it now to help start the engine and start your
chainsaw (not required on most models from 2014).
3. If your chainsaw has a starter bulb, press it 10 times, this helps with start-up and reduces the number of
jerks needed to get started.
4. Pull the choke lever all the way out.
5. To start the chainsaw, place it on a flat surface. The cutting attachment must not be in contact with the
ground to prevent it from blowing off when you start it up and to avoid putting yourself in an unnecessary
risk situation.
6. To leave the saw on the ground, place your left hand on the handlebar and your right hand on the starter
cord. Push its right end toward the rear handle to stabilize the chainsaw.
7. Pull the starter rope slowly with your right hand until you feel resistance. Then pull the starter cord a full cycle
several times until the engine starts briefly. Pull it upwards, keeping it as vertical as possible, without allowing
the rope to catch against the fan housing.
8. The engine fires only briefly and dies off again immediately. Push the choke all the way in (some models have
a two-stage choke and only reach halfway until the trigger is released to operate the saw).
9. Pull the starter cord again until the engine restarts.
10. As soon as the engine has started and is running, touch the throttle trigger briefly with your index finger.
(The throttle lever will return to the normal idle setting if equipped with a two-stage throttle).
