STARTING AND STOPPING
English
–
21
As the chain brake is still activated the engine must return
to idling speed as soon as possible by disengaging the
throttle latch in order to avoid unnecessery wear on the
clutch assembly.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
Note!
Pull the front hand guard towards the front handle. The
chain brake is now disengaged. Your saw is ready for use.
• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached
to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause
serious injury.
• The chain brake should be activated when starting.
Se instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do
not drop start. This method is very dangerous
because you may lose control of the saw.
• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.
• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no risk of people or animals coming into contact
with the cutting equipment.
• Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand
should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the
front handle. All people, whether right or left handed,
should use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
Stopping
The engine is stopped by pushing the stop switch to the
stop position.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
