Start and stop

!
WARNING!
• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise 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.
!
Warning!
Never start the saw without first activating the
chain brake!
Cold engine
STARTING:
The chain brake must be
engaged when the chain saw
is started. Activate the brake
by moving the front hand
guard forwards.
Ignition and choke:
Slide the control to its rear
position.
Fast Idle
Combined choke/fast idle is
obtained when the control is
set to its rear position (choke
position). Fast idle remains
engaged after the control is
moved to the middle position
(operating position).
Warm engine
Use the same starting
procedure as for a cold
engine, with the following
exceptions:
• Slide the control to its rear
position.
• Slide the control back to its
middle position (operating
position).
START AND STOP
Start
Activate the chain brake by
pushing the front hand guard
forward.
Grip the front handle with your
left hand and hold the saw
down by putting your right foot
in 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 twist the
starter cord around your
hand.
As the chain brake is still
engaged the speed of the
engine must be set to idling as
soon as possible, this is
achieved by quickly
disengaging the throttle lock.
This prevents unnecessary
wear to the clutch, clutch
drum and brake band.
Slide the control to its middle
position (operating position)
when the engine fires and try
again until the engine starts.
When the engine starts, quickly
apply full throttle to automatically
disengage fast idle.
Disengage the chain brake by
pulling the front hand guard
backwards.
CAUTION! Do not release the
starter handle from fully pulled
out position as this can cause
damage on the saw.
Reactivate the chain brake by
pushing the front hand guard
back towards the front handle.
The chain saw is now ready
for use.
Stop
The engine is stopped by
switching off the ignition.
(Move the ignition switch to
stop position.)
