Never start the saw without the guidebar, diamond chain
and side cover properly installed. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury.

Always move the saw at least 10 feet (3 m) away from the
fueling area before starting.
Place the saw on clear ground. Ensure that secure footing
is established and chain is not contacting any objects.
STARTING THE SAW
• Pull the choke lever out, which also sets the throttle lock.
• Depress primer bulb approximately 5–10 times.
• Push in decompression valve.
• Open the water valve 1/4 turn.
• Push choke lever in.
• Place the saw on stable ground making sure the chain is free of any
obstructions.
• Place foot on the base of the rear handle, and place one hand on
front handle. With opposite hand, slowly pull starter handle until the
starter pawls engage.
• Pull the starter cord (
hard, fast, short pulls
) until engine initially fires
or “pops”. Could be as many as 10–15 pulls.
• Pull the starter cord until engine starts – should be 1 to 2 pulls.

trigger.
• When the engine starts, allow the engine to idle briefly. Squeeze the

ENGINE BREAK-IN
• It is very important to break-in a new engine to “seat” all
moving parts, especially the piston rings.
• To break-in the engine, run one full tank of 50:1 (2%) fuel
at idle, cycling the throttle every 5 to 10 minutes to prevent
loading.
• Failure to break-in an engine may result in piston seizure.
