STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure there is sufficient fuel and oil inside the 

chainsaw. Fuel should be fresh unleaded petrol mixed 

with 2-stroke oil at a ratio of 25:1.  

Example: 1 litre of unleaded petrol mixed with 40ml of 

2-stroke oil.

If your chainsaw is fitted with a fuel primer press the 

bulb six times.  If the bulb is still not full of fuel please 

repeat the process.

Always start the engine with the chain brake engaged. 

Engage the brake by pushing the brake handle away 

from you when holding the saw. The brake is spring 

loaded so after some initial force the brake will move 

forward with its own momentum.

ENGAGE THE BRAKE

Before starting the engine make sure 

you have read and fully understood 

the user manual including fuelling 

and safety procedures.

STARTING THE ENGINE

For cold engine starts, close the choke by pulling the 

blue choke lever outwards. When closed it should click 

and remain in position until the throttle is pressed.

For warm engine starts, confirm the choke is open by 

pressing the throttle so the choke lever returns inwards.
