WARNING!
• Never start the saw engine without the bar, chain and
clutch cover (chain brake) assembled - or else the
clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries.
• Always move the saw away from the fueling area
before starting.
• Place the saw on clear ground and make sure that the
chain is not contacting anything. Also, make sure that
you have a secure footing.
• Keep people and animals well away from the working
area.

the chain brake first!

START AND STOP
Start
Activate the chain brake by
pushing the front hand guard
forwards. Grip the front handle
with your right hand and hold
the saw down by putting your
right knee on the rear handle.
Pull the starter handle with
your right hand and pull out
the starter cord slowly until the
starter pawls engage. Then
pull sharply. Never wrap the
starter cord around your hand.
Push in the choke control
immediately when the engine
fire and make repeated
starting attemps. Immediately
press and release the throttle
when the engine starts. That
will disengage the throttle
latch.
As the chain brake is still
activated the engine must
return to idling speed as soon
as possible by disengaging
the throttle latch in order to
avoid unnecessary wear on
the clutch assembly.
CAUTION! Do not release the
starter handle from fully pulled
out position as this can cause
damage on the saw.
Pull the front hand guard
towards the front handle. The
chain brake is now
disengaged. Your saw is now
ready for use.
Stop
The engine is stopped by
switching off the ignition.
(Move the ignition switch to
stop position.)
Storage
The saw should always be stored upright on a flat surface.
