Stopping Instructions; Starting A Cold Engine; Starting A Warm Engine - Craftsman 316.350220 Operator's Manual

STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1, Release the trigger and allow the engine to return to
the idle speed.
2, Move the STOP switch up to the STOP position (Fig. 4).
NOTE; For emergency stopping, push the lever of the
chain brake lever/hand guard (C) forward and move the
STOP switch up (Fig, 3, 4),
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
Be sure to add the correctly mixed fuel to the fuel tank (A)
and to add bar and chain oil to the oil tank (B), Make sure
the chain brake is disengaged (C) before starting the unit,
1, Slide the STOP switch down (Fig. 4). The red choke
lever (H) has 3 positions: Positions 1, 2 and 3 (Fig. 6),
2. Fully press and release the primer bulb (G) 10 times,
slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in the
primer bulb (Fig. 5). If you can't see fuel in the bulb,
press and release the bulb as many times as it takes
before you can see fuel in it.
3, Move the red choke lever (H) to Position 1 (Fig. 6).
NOTE: This unit will not run with the lever in Position 1,
4. Place the saw on a firm flat surface. Hold saw firmly
as shown (Fig. 7).
5. Hold down safety trigger (E) and squeeze the throttle
trigger (D), With thumb, press down on the throttle
latch (F). Release trigger (D) first, This will lock the
throttle into wide open position (Fig. 3). Pull the rope
with a controlled and steady motion 4 times.
NOTE: The unit uses the INCREDI-PULL
TM
starting
system with MAX FIRE IGNITION
TM,
which significantly
reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must
putl the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine
attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly--
there is no harsh resistance when pulling, Be aware that
this starting method is vastly different from (and much
easier than) what you may be used to,
6. Then move the red choke lever (H) to Position 2, being
sure to keep the throttle trigger locked. Hold saw firmly
and pull rope until saw starts. This could take 4 more
pulls.
7. Let the saw warm up for 10 seconds, Depress and
release throttle trigger (D) for idle,
8. Move red choke lever (H) to Position 3, Press throttle
trigger to begin sawing.
9. If engine fails to start, repeat these instructions. If
engine does start, begin chain brake test described on
next page,
10. If unit idles roughly, there is an idle adjustment access
hole (L) (Fig, 8), Using a Phillips or flat head screwdriver,
turn screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn clockwise (to the right), Unit
should then idle properly (Fig, 9).
NOTE: If chain turns while idling - turn screw back to the
left until chain stops and unit continues to idle,
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
1. Perform step 6 above.
2. Move the red choke lever (H) to position 3 and
release the throttle trigger (D) for idle.
3, Press throttle trigger to begin sawing.
