► With the right hand, pull the starter grip slowly
until you feel it engage – and then give it a
brisk strong pull – simultaneously press down
on the handlebar – do not pull the starter rope
out all the way – risk of breakage! Do not let
the starter grip snap back – guide it vertically
back into the housing so that the starter rope
can rewind properly
With a new engine or after a long period of dis‐
use, it may be necessary to pull the starter rope
several times – to prime the fuel line.
19.4.2
Versions with ErgoStart
The ErgoStart stores the energy for starting the
chain saw. For this reason, a few seconds may
pass between the pulling of the starter rope and
the starting of the engine.
► With the right hand, pull the starter grip slowly
and smoothly – simultaneously press down on
the handlebar – do not pull the starter rope out
all the way – risk of breakage!
► Do not let the starter grip snap back – guide it
vertically back into the housing so that the
starter rope can rewind properly
