STOPPING THE ENGINE
5) Hold the chainsaw fast as shown in fig. 28.
Make sure the area around the bar and the chain is
free of any objects.
6) Give the starter cord handle a strong pull, until the
first coughs from the engine (normally not more than
4/5 times) fig. 28.
ATTENTION to the possibility of the chain
moving.
7) Fully press down the air knob (choke) (fig. 29), so
that the “THROTTLE ADVANCE” remains engaged.
8) Continue to pull the starter cord (fig. 28) until the en-
gine starts.
CAUTION-HAZARD! The cutting chain
moves because the throttle trigger is par-
tially advanced.
- Hold the chainsaw firm (Fig. 28) letting the engine and
chain run for at least 15 seconds (for preheating).
9) Using the palm of your hand, press the throttle trigger
lock-out (fig. 29 part. 1) and then press the throttle
trigger (fig. 29 part 2); this way “THE THROTTLE AD-
VANCEMENT” will disengage and the engine will run
at minimum speed.
10) Do not use the chainsaw if the chain moves at the
minimum engine setting. Instead, apply to a service
centre for assistance.
11) Do not move or transport the chainsaw with the en-
gine running. During transport, cover the bar with the
protector provided.
1) To stop the engine, lower the switch lever to the
“STOP
↓
“ position (Fig. 26 part. 1).
2) After working for a long period at full power, it is best
to leave the engine to run at minimum speed for a
few seconds before operating the “STOP ↓“ switch.
ATTENTION! Accustom yourself to operating
the STOP switch so that you will be able to act
promptly in the event of an emergency.
ATTENTION! The chain continues to move
for a certain time after the throttle trigger has
been released.
STARTING WITH THE ENGINE HOT
1) Raise the switch lever (Fig. 26 part.1).
2) Pull the air knob as far as it will go and then push it in

3) Give the starter cord handle a strong pull until the
engine starts fig. 28.
