Starting the engine when cold
Make sure, that the fuel tank is filled with the relevant mixture of petrol and also
top up the chain oil.
1.
Activate the chain brake before starting (Fig. 6/pos 3).
2.
Switch the stop switch to ‘0’ (OFF) (Fig. 8 / pos 19).
3.
Pull the choke (16) fully out until it locks (Fig. 9/arrow direction 1).
4.
Push the primer bubble (17) 10 times (Fig. 1).
5.
Place the saw on a firm, flat surface. Hold the saw firmly as shown. Pull the
starter handle (6) rapidly 2 times. (Fig. 10) Beware of moving chain!
6.
Push in the choke lever as far as it will go (Fig. 9/arrow direction 2).
7.
Switch the stop switch to ‘I’ (ON) to start the machine (Fig. 8/ pos. 19).
8.
Hold the saw firmly and pull the starter handle (6) rapidly 4 times. Engine
should start (Fig. 10).
m
CAUTION
Never allow the starter handle (6) to snap back when it has been pulled out.
This may result in damage.
m
CAUTION
Since the choke (Fig. 9/arrow direction 1) is closed, the chain starts to move and ro-
tate
AT HIGH SPEED, immediately when the engine is started.
9.
Let the engine run for 10 seconds to warm up. Press the safety lock (7) & throttle
lever (18) briefly, the engine will go to ‘idling’ speed (Fig. 11).
m
CAUTION
Always pull the starter handle (6) slowly (until you feel the initial resistance) before
pulling it quickly to start the engine.
Do not allow the starter handle (6) to whip back of its own accord.
If the engine does not start up even after several attempts, read the section
‘Troubleshooting’.
Always pull out the starter handle (6) 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 (6) will become frayed and will wear
away faster. Always hold the starter handle (6) when the starter line retracts.
