1.
Press red STOP switch to the “I” ON position for start-
ing (Figure 5-2A).

4.
Place saw on a firm flat surface. Hold saw firmly as
shown (Figure 5-2D).

Smooth Pull starting requires much less pulling effort than
units without it. Pull with a smooth steady pull.

After pulling rope 4 times, move choke lever (G) all the
way in (Figure 5-2E).
6.
Hold saw firmly and pull rope until saw starts-perhaps
4 more pulls.

(I) and squeeze and release the throttle trigger (H) for
idle (Figure 5-2F).
