Husqvarna T540 XP II Operator's Manual page 24

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.
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 chain saw is now ready for use.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 top 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
The engine is stopped by pushing the stop switch to the
stop position.
