bar oil (Figure 5-1A).

5-2. TO START ENGINE

1.

Press red STOP switch to the “I” ON position for start-
ing (Figure 5-2A).

2.

Pull the choke (A) out as far as it will go until the choke
stays out. (Figure 5-2B). This advances the throttle so
you do not have to hold trigger while starting.

3.

Push the primer bulb (B) 10 times (Figure 5-2C).

4.

Place saw on a firm flat surface. Hold saw firmly as
shown (Figure 5-2D).

NOTE: This saw has the smooth pull starting system.

Smooth Pull starting requires much less pulling effort than
units without it. Pull with a smooth steady pull.
5.

After pulling rope 4 times, move choke lever (G) all the
way in (Figure 5-2E).

6.

Hold saw firmly and pull rope until saw starts-perhaps
4 more pulls.

7.

Warm up for 30 seconds. Depress the safety trigger
(I) and squeeze and release the throttle trigger (H) for
idle (Figure 5-2F).

8.

If engine failed to start, repeat these instructions.

IMPORTANT IDLING INFORMATION

In some cases due to operating conditions (altitude, tem-
perature etc.) your chain saw may need a slight adjustment
to the idle speed.
After warm up - See the User's Manual section 5-2, step 7
- If unit does not Idle after restarting 2 times, follow these
steps to adjust idle.
1.

to 1/2 turn clockwise (to the right). Unit should then
idle properly. (Figure 5-2H)

NOTE: If chain turns while idling - turn screw back to the
left until chain stops and unit continues to idle.
