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:
Set the choke control in the choke position.
This should automatically set the stop switch to the start
position.
Start throttle:
The correct choke/start throttle setting is
obtained by moving the control to the choke position.
Decompression valve (CS 2159)
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.
Automatic decompression valve (CS 2156)
The valve is always in the open position before starting and
closes automatically when the saw starts.
Warm engine
Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position. The
correct choke/start throttle setting is obtained by moving the
choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in
again.
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 twist
the starter cord around your hand.
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.
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.
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.
!
WARNING! Note the following before
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.
!
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
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.
