Starting the engine
Do not start the chain saw until after it is completely
assembled and checked!
Move at least 3 meters / 10 feet away from the place where
the chain saw was fuelled.
Make sure you have a secure footing, and place the saw on
the ground in such a way that the guide bar and chain are not
near anything.
Actuate the chain brake (block it).
Hold the front handle firmly with one hand and press the saw
against the ground.
Hold the down rear handguard with your right foot as shown.
Note: The Featherlight-Start System lets you start the saw
without effort. Go through the starting procedure smoothly
and evenly.
Cold starting:
Prime the fuel pump (5) by pressing it several times until you
can see fuel in the pump.
Move the combination switch (1) up (choke position). This
also actuates the half-throttle lock.
Pull the starter handle (2) smoothly and evenly.
CAUTION: Do not pull the starter cable more than about
50 cm/20" out, and let it back in slowly by hand.
Repeat the starting procedure twice.
Move the combination switch (1) to the central "ON" position.
Pull the starter handle smoothly and evenly again. As soon as
the engine is running, grasp the rear handle (the safety lock
button (3) is actuated by the palm of the hand) and press the
throttle trigger (4).
CAUTION: The engine must be put in idle immediately after
starting. If this is not done, the clutch can be damaged.
Now disengage the chain brake.
Warm starting:
As described above for cold starting, but before starting push
the combination switch (1) up (Choke position) and
then right away back to the middle "ON" position. This is only
to engage the half-throttle lock. If the engine doesn't start
after 2 or 3 pulls, repeat the entire starting procedure as
described for cold starting.
NOTE: If the engine was switched off only for a short time,
the saw can be started without using the combination switch.
Important: If the fuel tank has been completely emptied and
the engine has stopped due to lack of fuel prime the fuel
pump (5) by pressing it several times until you can see fuel in
the pump.
Stopping the engine
Depress the combination switch
NOTE: After being pressed down, the combination switch will
revert to the ON position again. The engine is switched off,
but can be turned on again without moving the combination
switch.
IMPORTANT: To cut off the ignition current, push the com-
bination switch all the way down past the resistance point to
the safety position (
).
