Starting the engine
This model is fitted with a semiautomatic decompression valve (
1
) to
make starting easier. Press the rubber cover until you can feel it en-
gage. This pushes in the decompression valve behind it. This in turn
reduces the compression, so that it takes less force to pull the starter
cord to accelerate the engine to its starting speed.
The high pressure in the combustion chamber after the first ignition au-
tomatically closes the decompression valve.
NOTICE:
Strictly follow the SAFETY INFORMATION.
The cut-off saw must not be started until it has been completely as-
sembled and tested!
Take it at least 3 m (10 feet) away from the place where you filled the
tank!
