11. Then slowly lift the chainsaw up, taking care not to touch the throttle trigger.
12. Release the chain brake by pulling the chain brake handle towards you with your left hand. Hold the
handlebar with your left hand while doing this. When you hear a sound like a click, it means that the chain
has been released and you can activate the sword.
13. Before starting, check the chain lubrication. Hold the saw against a light-colored background, such as a tree
trunk or piece of paper, on the ground and open the throttle fully. If this background shows chain lubricant,
you can start working.
14. The saw is now ready for use. For safe work practices, refer to the manual.
QUICK START

6. Once the engine starts, push the rope all the way in until the engine starts and is running.
IF THE ENGINE FAILS TO START
Repeat the appropriate starting procedure (hot or cold engine). If the engine does not start after frequent attempts,
the engine may be drowned (too much fuel in the engine). If you suspect that your engine is drowned go to the next
section “Starting a drowned engine”.
STARTING A DROWNED ENGINE
ATTENTION:
Incorrect installation of the spark plug can cause serious engine damage.
1. Pull the “spark plug” of the “spark plug”.
2. Using a spark plug wrench, remove the “spark plug” (turn it counterclockwise to remove it).
3. Push the choke lever down.
4. Hold the throttle trigger fully (full throttle)
5. Pull the starter handle quickly with your right hand to expel/remove excess fuel from the combustion
chamber.
6. Wipe the spark plug clean with a cloth to remove any excess fuel or oil deposits.
7. Reinstall the “spark plug” and tighten it firmly, tighten it by hand plus 1/3 turn with the spark plug wrench.
8. Repeat the WARM ENGINE starting procedure above.
9. If the engine still does not start, refer to the identification and troubleshooting section.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
ATTENTION:
The cutterbar continues to rotate for a short period of time after the throttle is
released or the engine is turned off (steering wheel effect).
Stop the engine by turning the switch to the “OFF” position.
FILLING WITH FUEL

2. Slowly loosen the fuel filler cap. Place the cap on a clean surface.
3. Pour the fuel carefully into the tank. Avoid spills.
