front hand guard forwards.
Ignition:
Slide the ignition switch to the left.

The correct choke/start throttle setting is
obtained by moving the control to the choke position.
If the machine is fitted with a decompression valve (A):
Press the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder and
make starting easier. You should always use the
decompression valve when starting the machine. Once
the machine has started the valve will automatically return
to its original setting.

The correct choke/start throttle setting is obtained by
moving the choke control to the choke position and then
pushing it in again.

The chain brake must be engaged when
the chain saw is started to reduce the

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.
