work you intend to do (see illustration).
The protective hood (

Note:
A water supply line (from a pressurized water tank or
other source) is connected by the water set on the protective
hood. The water flow rate can be adjusted with the adjusting
screw (

actuates the half-throttle lock.
Pull starter handle smoothly and evenly, until you hear the
first ignition (but max. 3-5 pulls).

As described above for cold starting, but before starting push
the combination switch (

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.
NOTE:
If the engine was switched off only for a short time, the
saw can be started without using the combination switch.
Important:
If the fuel tank has been completely emptied and the
engine has stopped due to lack of fuel prime the fuel pump (
4
) by
pressing it several times until you can see fuel in the pump.
Stopping the engine
Depress the combination switch (

After being pressed down, the combination switch will
revert to the ”
ON
” position again. The engine is switched off,
but can be turned on again without moving the combination
switch.

tion switch all the way down past the resistance point to the
