^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.
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.
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.
