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.

START AND STOP
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:
Move the ignition switch to
startposition.
CHOKE:
Pull out the choke knob.
FAST IDLE:
1.Push down the throttle
trigger lockout (A).
2.Open the throttle fully (B).
3.Push the throttle latch
downwards (C).
Warm engine
Use the same starting
procedure as for a cold
engine, but do not pull out the
choke knob.
Stop
The engine is stopped by
switching off the ignition.
(Move the ignition switch to
stopposition.)
Start
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.
Push in the choke control
immediately when the engine
ignites and make repeated
starting attemps. When the
engine starts, rapidly give full
throttle. Then the throttle latch
will disengage.
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. B
