Starting And Stopping - Husqvarna 565 Operator's Manual

NOTE! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the
engine must be set to idling as soon as possible, this is
achieved by quickly disengaging the throttle lock. This
prevents unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and
brake band.
Note! Reset the chain brake by pulling the front hand
guard back (marked "PULL BACK TO RESET") towards
the front handle. The chainsaw is now ready for use.
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
!
engine's exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
• Never start a chainsaw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached
to the chainsaw the clutch can come loose and cause
serious injury.
• The chain brake should be activated when starting.
See instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do
not drop start. This method is very dangerous
because you may lose control of the saw.
• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.

STARTING AND STOPPING

• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no risk of people or animals coming into contact
with the cutting equipment.
• Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand
should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the
front handle. All people, whether right or left handed,
should use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
Stopping
• Stop the engine by pushing the start/stop switch
down.
NOTE! The start/stop switch automatically returns to run
position. To avoid involuntary start up, the spark plug cap
must always be removed from the spark plug when the
machine is unsupervised.
