Step 1 - Starting the Engine (continued)
Operating the Chainsaw
Place the chainsaw on a firm level surface clear of debris or any objects which may come into contact
with the saw chain while it is moving.
Place your right foot on the trigger plate
to keep the chainsaw stable while starting. Your left foot
should be positioned so that it is clear of the chainsaw but still allows you to stand firmly.
Grasp the handle
firmly with your left hand.
Using your right hand pull the starter cord
slowly towards you until you feel resistance.
Ensuring that all parts of your body are away from the saw chain, rapidly pull the starter cord
slowly
and release in a controlled manner four times.
The chainsaw is now primed.
IMPORTANT!
Always pull the starter cable slowly until you feel the initial resistance before you
then pull it quickly to start the engine. Do not allow the starter cable to whip back of it’s own accord.
