Starting the engine
Do not start the chain saw until after it is completely
assembled and checked!
Move at least 10 feet (3 m) away from the place where the chain
saw was fuelled.
Make sure you have a secure footing, and place the saw on the
ground in such a way that the guide bar and chain are not near
anything.
Actuate the chain brake (block it).
Hold the front handle firmly with one hand and press the saw
against the ground.
Hold the down rear handguard with your right foot as shown.
Cold starting:
Move the combination switch (
1
) up (choke position). This also
actuates the half-throttle lock.
Pull the starter cable (
2
) out slowly until you feel resistance (the
piston is now just before top dead center).
Push in decompression valve (
5
).
Now pull it quickly and powerfully until you hear the first
audible ignition.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the starter cable more than about 50 cm/
20” out, and let it back in slowly by hand.
Push in decompression valve (
5
).
Move the combination switch (
1
) to the central “
ON
” position.
Pull the starter cable again, quickly and firmly. As soon as the
engine is running, grasp the rear handle (the safety lock button
(
3
) is actuated by the palm of the hand) and press the throttle
trigger (
4
).
The half-throttle lock will disengage and the engine will now
idle.
CAUTION:
The engine must be put in idle immediately after
starting. If this is not done, the clutch can be damaged.
Now disengage the chain brake.
Warm starting:
As described above for cold starting, but before starting push
the combination switch (
1
) up (Choke position) and
then right away back to the middle “
ON
” position. This is only
to engage the half-throttle lock. If the engine doesn’t start after
2 or 3 pulls, repeat the entire starting procedure as described
for cold starting.
Stopping the engine
Depress the combination switch (
1
).
