17 Starting / Stopping the Engine
► Pull the starter grip slowly with your right hand
until you feel it engage – and then give it a
brisk strong pull and push down the front han‐
dle at the same time. Do not pull out the
starter rope to full length – it might otherwise
break. Do not let the starter grip snap back.
Guide it slowly back into the housing so that
the starter rope can rewind properly.
Machines without additional manual fuel pump: If
the engine is new or after a long out-of-service
period or if the tank has been run dry (engine
stops), it may be necessary to pull the starter
rope several times to prime the fuel system.
17.5 Starting the Saw
17.5.1 Decompression valve
► Press in the button to open the decompression
valve.
The decompression valve closes as soon as the
engine fires. For this reason you must press in
the button before each starting attempt.
