Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires
which can be heard through a "puff" sound. Keep on
pulling the cord powerfully until the engine starts. When
the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle; the throttle
start lock will automatically disengage.
IMPORTANT! 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! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard back towards the front handle. The chain saw
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 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.
