1f
1f. Start the Chainsaw
WARNING!
To stop the chainsaw in an emergency, apply rapid pressure to the chain brake and
stop switch.
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. Up to six pulls may be required to start the chainsaw. Allow the
engine to idle for approximately 10 seconds.
NOTE!
If the chainsaw fails to start repeat steps 1a to 1f. If the chainsaw still fails to start, consult the
troubleshooting guide at the rear of this manual.
