1. Switch on the ignition (push the ignition switch to the left so that
the 1 is visible).
2. Push UII the choke control.
3. Push down the throttle trigger lockout (A).
4, Open the throttle fully (B).
5. Push down the throttle latch (C).
Now all controls are in starting position and the chain saw is ready to
be started.
6. Put your right foot on the plate under the rear handle.
7. Grasp the front handle with your left hand and press the saw
against the ground.
8. Grasp the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the
starting cord slowly until the starter pawls engage.
9. Give the starting cord a sharp tug.
NOTE!
One of the most common causes of starting difficulties is that too
many starting attempts have been made with a closed choke flap. If
this is the case, remove the spark plug and wipe it dry. Open the
choke flap fully.
Before you reassemble the spark plug, pull the starter handle several
times to "ventilate the cylinder", the ignition switch in O-position.
Fit the spark plug and make a new starting attempt with open choke
flap and full throttle.
CAUTION!
Guide bar, chain and clutch cover must be fitted before the
engine is started, otherwise the clutch may come loose and
cause injuries.
NOTE!
Do not pull out the starting cord entirely or release the starter handle
in pulled out position, as this can cause damages on the chain saw.
10. Normally the engine will start after 2X3 starting attempts. Push
down the choke control as soon the engine starts.
Open rapidly the throttle wide and the latch will disengage.
