STARTING AND STOPPING
Starting and stopping
Warm engine
Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position.
The correct choke/start throttle setting is obtained by
moving the choke control to the choke position and then
pushing it in again.
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.
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.
Starting
Cold engine
Starting: The chain brake should be activated when
starting the chain saw. Activate the chain brake by
pushing the front hand guard forwards.
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain
saw on the ground by placing your right foot through the
rear handle. Pull the starter handle with your right hand
and pull 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
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
Ignition: Slide the ignition switch to the left.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
Start throttle: The correct choke/start throttle setting is
obtained by moving the control to the choke position.
Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires and
make repeated starting attempts. Immediately press and
release the throttle when the engine starts. That will
disengage the throttle latch.
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.
As the chain brake is still activated the engine must return
to idling speed as soon as possible by disengaging the
A
