STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Fill fuel and oil tanks, tighten the caps
securely.
2. Set the switch to “I” position.
3. Press primer bulb 6 to 7 times or until
filled with gasoline.
4. Pull out the choke knob out to the
second-stage position. The choke will
close and the throttle lever will then be set
in the starting position.
5. While holding the chainsaw securely on
the ground, pull the starter rope
vigorously.
6. When the engine has ignited, push in the
choke knob to the first-stage position.
7. Allow engine to warm up with the throttle
lever pulled slightly
8. To stop the engine, turn the engine switch
to “STOP” position.
NOTE:
If the choke is left CLOSED
(pulled out) after the first firing sound, and
the starter handle is still being pulled, the
result will be an intake of too much fuel
and the engine will fail to start.
WARNING:
Do not wrap the
starting rope around your hands when
pulling the starter grip. Do not allow
the grip to snap back.
