Place your saw on the ground.
Make sure you have a firm footing.
Check that chain is not touching any
object or the ground.

your thumb should be under
the handle.

between your legs, just above the
knees.
•
Grip the front handle firmly with
your left hand -
your thumb should be under the
handle.
•
Pull the starter grip slowly with your
right hand until you feel it engage -
then give the grip a brisk strong pull
and push down the front handle
at the same time -
do not pull out starter rope more
than 70 cm (about 28 in) - it might
break.
Do not let the starter grip snap back
- guide it slowly into the housing
so that the starter rope can rewind
properly.
If engine is new, pull starter grip
several times to prime the fuel line.
