8. Pull STARTER until engine attempts to start.
Slowly pull the starter grip out for a short distance until
you feel the starter engage, then briskly pull straight
up. Do not pull to the end of the rope, this can damage
the starter. Hold onto the grip during rewinding (see
figure 16).
Pull the starter rope until the first firing of the engine is
heard (no more than five pulls).
Note: A new unit may require additional pulls.
9. Push choke lever to half choke position.
10. Pull starter until engine runs.
Note: Allow the saw to run in this position 15-30
seconds depending upon the temperature.
11. Push choke lever all the way IN.
12. Immediately SQUEEZE and release the throttle
trigger.
Immediately depress the throttle trigger which releases
the trigger lock button. Squeeze and release the
throttle trigger to let the engine idle.
13. Move chain brake to RUN position.
Place chain brake lever/hand guard into the RUN
position as shown in figure 18. Refer to “Operation –
Operating Chain Brake” for additional information.
CAUTION:
Failure to release partial throttle when chain brake
lever is in the brake position will result in serious
damage to the unit. Never squeeze and hold the
throttle trigger while the chain brake is in the brake
position.
Now you are ready to pick up the saw. Use the proper
grip for both handles, refer to “Operation” for additional
information.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE:
Follow the instructions for starting a cold engine (steps
1-9), but do not attempt to start in the full choke position
(skip step 5). Push and release primer bulb 7 times. Pull
the choke out and push back it in to the original run
position.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return to
idle. To stop the engine, move the ignition switch to the “
” stop position. Do not put the chain saw on the ground
when the chain is still moving. For additional safety, set
the chain brake when the saw is not in use.
In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the saw,
pull the choke lever out to the fully extended position (Full
Choke /
) and engage chain brake to stop the engine.
If the ignition switch will not stop the saw when set to the
stop “
” position, have the ignition switch repaired
before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe
conditions or serious injury.
Important: When you are finished using the saw, relieve
tank pressures by loosening the CHAIN OIL and FUEL
MIX caps. Then retighten the caps. Allow the engine to
cool before storing.
