STARTING AND STOPPING
Starting and stopping
Cold engine
Starting: The chain brake should be activated when starting
the chain saw. Activate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard forwards.
Ignition; choke: Slide the control to its rear position.
Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins
to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine, with the
following exceptions:
•
Slide the control to its rear position.
•
Slide the control back to its middle position (working
position).
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain saw
on the ground by placing your right foot through the rear
handle. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull
out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the
starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly. Never wrap
the starter cord around your hand
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended.
This can damage the machine.
Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fire and make
repeated starting attempts. Immediately press and release
the throttle when the engine starts. That will disengage the
throttle latch.
As the chain brake is still activated the engine must return to
idling speed as soon as possible by disengaging the throttel
latch in order to avoid unnecessery wear on the clutch
assembly.
Note! Pull the front hand guard towards the front handle. The
chain brake is now disengaged. Your saw is ready for use.
•
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached to
the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause
serious injury.
!
WARNING! Note the following before
starting:
The chain brake must be engaged when the
chain saw is started to reduce the chance of
contact with the moving chain during
starting.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain
and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise
the clutch can come loose and cause
personal injuries.
Place the machine on firm ground. Make
sure you have a secure footing and that the
chain cannot touch anything.
Keep people and animals well away from the
working area.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
dust from sawdust can represent a health
risk.
