Versions with ErgoStart
WARNING
This machine is extremely simple and
easy to start, even for children – risk of
accidents.
Do not allow children or other
unauthorized persons to attempt to start
or otherwise use the machine:
Never leave the machine
unattended during work breaks.
After work, store the machine in a
safe, secure location.
The ErgoStart stores the energy
required to start the saw. For this reason
there may be a delay of a few seconds
between cranking the engine and it
actually starting.
There are two ways of starting with the
ErgoStart:
Hold the starter grip with your right
N
hand and pull it out slowly and
steadily – or – hold the starter grip
with your right hand and give it
several short pulls, using only a
short length of rope for each pull.
Push down the handle while
N
cranking. Do not pull out the rope to
its full length – it might otherwise
break.
Do not let the starter grip snap back.
N
Guide it slowly back into the housing
so that the starter rope can rewind
properly.
