To Start a Warm Engine:
 Make sure the chain brake is in the run position
by pulling back on the lever/hand guard.
 Pull choke lever out to FULL CHOKE position
then push immediately back to RUN position to
set fast idle.
 Pull starter grip and rope until engine runs, but
no more than 5 times. If engine does not start
after 5 pulls, use cold engine starting procedure.
 Squeeze and release the throttle trigger to return
the engine to idle.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 11 - 12.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return
to idle. To stop the engine, fully press the stop
switch. Do not put the chain saw on the ground
when the chain is still moving. For additional safety,
set the chain brake when the saw is not in use.
In the event that the stop switch will not stop the
saw, pull the choke lever out to the fully extended
position (FULL CHOKE ) and engage chain brake to
stop the engine. If the stop switch will not stop the
saw when pressed, have the stop switch repaired
before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe
conditions or serious injury.
NOTE: When you are finished using the saw,
always relieve tank pressure by loosening, then
retightening, the chain oil and fuel caps. Allow the
engine to cool before storing.
