2) Filling/Checking the fuel (Fig. 11)
Always switch off the engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Only
add fuel outdoors. If the engine is hot, allow to cool for at least five minutes before adding fuel. Move at least 3
m from refueling site before starting the engine. Do not smoke and stay away from open flames and sparks.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire and cause serious personal injury.
a) Position the unit in a way that the fuel tank (10) faces upwards.
b) Remove the fuel tank cap
c) Refill with unleaded fuel carefully without overfilling. Leave approx. 5 mm space between the top of the
fuel and the inside edge of the tank to allow for expansion.
d) Tighten the fuel tank cap firmly.
e) Wipe up any spilled fuel.
It is normal for the engine to emit smoke during and after the first use.
If the cutting attachment still rotates in idle speed, contact Authorized Service Centers for correct idle speed
adjustment.
When the engine is idling the cutting attachment must not rotate under any circumstances!
6.3 OPERATION
Please note that the statutory regulations governing noise abatement may differ from one location to another.
a) Each time before use, check the following:

That there are no leaks in the fuel system.

That the equipment is in perfect condition and that the safety devices and cutting devices are
complete.

That all screws are securely fastened.

That all moving parts move smoothly.
b) Starting the engine when cold (Fig. 12 / 13)

Activate the chain brake lever (3) before starting.
 Switch the stop switch (14) to ‘I’ (ON).

Pull the choke (9) fully out until it locks.
 Push the fuel pump ‘primer bubble’ (8) 6-8 times.

Place the chainsaw on a firm, flat surface. Hold the chainsaw firmly as shown. Pull the starter handle
(16) rapidly 2 times. Beware of moving chain!

Push in the choke (9) as far as it will go.

Hold the saw firmly and pull the starter handle (16) rapidly 4 times. Engine should start.
Never allow the starter handle (16) to snap back when it has been pulled out. This may result in damage.
Always pull the starter handle (16) slowly (until you feel the initial resistance) before pulling it quickly to start
the engine.
Do not allow the starter handle (16) to whip back of its own accord.
If the engine does not start up even after several atte
mpts, read the section ‘Troubleshooting’.
Always pull out the starter handle (16) in a straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, friction will occur on the
eyelet.
As a result of this friction, the starter handle (16) will become frayed and will wear away faster. Always hold
the starter handle (16) when the starter line retracts.
