DIFFICULT STARTING (or starting a
flooded engine)
The engine may be flooded with too much
fuel if it has not started after 10 pulls.
Flooded engines can be cleared of excess
fuel by following the warm engine starting
procedure listed above. Insure the ignition
switch is in the ON or START position.
Starting could require pulling the starter rope
handle many times depending on how badly
the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start, re-
fer to the TROUBLESHOOTING CHART or
call 1-800-554-6723.
Important points to remember
When pulling the starter rope, do not use the
full extent of the rope as this can cause the
rope to break. Do not let starter rope snap
back. Hold the handle and let the rope rewind
slowly.
For cold weather starting, start the unit at
FULL choke; allow the engine to warm up be-
fore squeezing the throttle trigger.
NOTE: Do not cut material with the choke/
fast idle lever at the FULL position.
CUTTING METHODS
STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or a
warm engine after running out of
fuel):
NOTE: In the following steps, when the
choke/fast idle lever is pulled out to the full
extent, the correct throttle setting for starting
is set automatically.
IMPORTANT POINTS
S
Cut wood only. Do not cut metal; plastics;
masonry; non-wood building materials;
etc.
S
Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object. Inspect the saw and repair or re-
place parts as necessary.
