WARNING!
Do not start the engine whilst holding the chainsaw in one hand; the saw chain
may touch your body, which is very dangerous.
1a Engage the chain brake (push it forward until an audible click is heard).
1b Set the switch to the 'START' position.
1c Press and release the primer bulb (B) 10 times; ensure that the primer bulb is
approximately 3/4 filled with fuel before attempting to start.
Pull the choke control (A) out to engage.
1d While holding the saw unit securely on the ground, pull the start handle four times. At
this point, the engine will usually not start.
1e Push the choke control in to disengage (failure to do this may cause the engine to flood).
1f Pull the start handle with smooth, continuous pulls, no more than five times. If the
engine does not start, remove the spark plug, dry it with a paper towel and replace.
Repeat the start procedure.
1g Allow the saw to run and warm up in this position for 30 seconds.
1h. Disengage the chain brake by pulling it back.

right way of
starting
When restarting immediately after stopping the engine, or when the engine is warm, it will
not be necessary to use the choke function.
Make sure the cutting blade is pointing away from your body at all times; the chain may
rotate upon ignition.
NOTE: If you fail to start your machine or require further assistance, please contact our
after sales support team on 01904 727500.
Step 2 - Checking the oil supply
With the chainsaw fully assembled and adjusted, it is important to check the chain oil
supply is dispensing adequate lubrication.
After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed and see if chain oil is being
dispensed as shown.
With the chainsaw switched off, the chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a
screwdriver in the hole on the bottom of the side of the clutch. Increase or decrease the
oil flow according to your work conditions. Restart the chainsaw and check the rate of flow
meets your requirements.
NOTE: The oil reservoir should become nearly empty by the time fuel is used up. Be sure
to refill the oil reservoir every time when refueling the saw.
