DIFFICULT STARTING (or starting a
flooded engine):
Grip the rear handle with your right hand and
the front handle with your left hand. Hold the
chain saw approximately 14! (35 cm) above
a stump or  other wooden surface.  Release
your grip  on  the front  handle  and use  the
weight of the  saw to let the top of the guide
bar  fall   forward  and  contact   the  stump.
When the  tip of the  bar hits the  stump, the
brake should activate.
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  ON/
STOP switch is in the ON position.
Starting could require pulling the starter rope
handle many times depending on how badly
the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start, refer
to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call

CUTTING METHODS
CHAIN BRAKE
IMPORTANT POINTS
S  Check chain tension  before first use  and
after 1  minute of  operation.  See  CHAIN
TENSION in the ASSEMBLY section.
WARNING:
If  the brake  band  is
worn too  thin it may  break when  the chain
brake is triggered. With abroken brake band,
the chain brake  will not stop the chain.  The
chain brake should be replaced by an autho-
rized service dealer if any part is worn to less
than 0.020!  (0.5  mm) thick.   Repairs on  a
chain brake  should  be made by  an autho-
rized  service dealer.  Take your  unit to  the
place of  purchase if purchased  from a ser-
vicing  dealer, or  to the  nearest authorized
master service dealer.
S
Cut wood only.   Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.
Stop the saw if the chain strikes  a foreign
object.  Inspect  the saw and repair  or re-
place parts as necessary.

S
Keep the chain out of dirt and sand.  Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and thus increase the possibility of kickback.
Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques to get the “feel” of us-
ing  your saw  before  you begin  a  major
sawing operation.
S  This saw is equipped with  a chain brake.
The brake is designed to stop  the chain if
kickback occurs.

Squeeze the throttle trigger  and allow
the engine to  reach full speed before
cutting.

inertia--activated
chain   brake   is
activated if the front hand guard is pushed
forward,  either   manually  (by   hand)  or
automatically (by sudden  movement).
