Starting And Stopping - Husqvarna CS 2234S Operator's Manual

Starting and stopping

WARNING! Note the following before
!
starting:
The chain brake must be engaged when
the chain saw is started to reduce the
chance of contact with the moving
chain during starting.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar,
chain and all covers are fitted correctly.
Otherwise the clutch can come loose
and cause personal injuries.
Place the machine on firm ground.
Make sure you have a secure footing
and that the chain cannot touch
anything.
Keep people and animals well away
from the working area.
Cold engine
Starting: The chain brake must be engaged when the
chain saw is started. Activate the brake by moving the
front hand guard forwards. (20)
1. Air purge: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely
filled. (23)
2. Choke: Pull the blue choke/fast idle lever out to the
full extent (to the FULL CHOKE position). When the
choke/fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent, the
correct throttle setting is set automatically. (21)
Start throttle: The correct choke/start throttle setting is
obtained by moving the control to the choke position. (22)
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain
saw on the ground by placing your right foot through the
rear handle.
3. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull
out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as
the starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly.
Never twist the starter cord around your hand. (25)
CAUTION! 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.
4. Push in the choke control to the "1/2 choke" setting as
soon as the engine fires which can be heard through a
"puff" sound. (21)
5. Keep on pulling the cord powerfully until the engine
starts. (26) Allow engine to warm for thirty seconds, then
squeeze throttle trigger to set normal idle.
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 pressing the throttle trigger once.
This prevents unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch
drum and brake band.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard back towards the front handle. (27) The chain
saw is now ready for use.
Warm engine
Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position.
Set the throttle to the start position by pulling out the blue
choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in
again. (24)
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 chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached
to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and
cause serious injury. (28)
• The chain brake should be activated when starting.
Se instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do
not drop start. This method is very dangerous
because you may lose control of the saw. (29)
• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.
• 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. (30)
Stopping
Stop the engine by pressing down the stop button. (31)
