STARTING AND STOPPING
Starting and stopping
If the machine is fitted with a decompression valve (A): Press
the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder and make
starting easier.You should always use the decompression
valve when starting the machine. Once the machine has
started the valve will automatically return to its original
setting.
WARNING! Note the following before
!
starting:
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 machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
Place the machine on firm ground. Make
sure you have a secure footing and that the
chain cannot touch anything.
Keep people and animals well away from the
working area.

Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position.

hand guard forwards.

out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the
starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly.Never wrap
the starter cord around your hand
As the chain brake is still activated the engine must return to
idling speed as soon as possible by disengaging the throttel
latch in order to avoid unnecessery wear on the clutch
assembly.
Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fire and make
repeated starting attempts. Immediately press and release
the throttle when the engine starts. That will disengage the
throttle latch.
