To start the engine when the fuel is too hot

If the product does not start, the fuel can be too hot.
Note: Always use new fuel and decrease the
operation time during warm weather.
1. Put the product in a cool area away from open
sunlight.
2. Let the product cool down for 20 minutes at
minimum.
3. Press the primer bulb again and again for 10-15
seconds.
4. Obey the procedure to start a cold engine. See
To start a cold engine on page 12 .

To stop the engine

• Push the stop switch to stop the engine.
Note: The stop switch automatically goes back to its
initial position.

To use a spike bumper

A spike bumper prevents kickbacks and holds the
wood as you cut. The spike bumper is a pivot
between the engine body and the guide bar.
1. Put the lower end of the spike bumper at the
correct hinge width.

2. Press, with your left hand, against the front
handle while you lift the rear handle with your
right hand.
3. Saw until you get the correct hinge width.
Note: The hinge must have an equal thickness.
4. Saw more than half of the diameter and then put
the felling wedge into the saw cut.

To fell a tree

1. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples
and wire from the tree.
2. Make a notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree,
perpendicular to the direction of the fall.
3. Make the lower horizontal notch cut. This will
prevent either the saw chain or the guide bar
from being pinched when the second notch is
made.
4. Make the felling back cut (X) at least 50 mm (2
in) higher than the horizontal notching cut. Keep
the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal
notching cut so enough wood is left to act as a
hinge. Do not cut through the hinge. The hinge
wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in
the wrong direction.
