Operating Instructions
N
N
Allow engine to warm up at part
throttle.
STOP
During break-in period
Change over to winter operation if
necessary – see “Winter
Operation”.
0
A factory new machine should not be run
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the
first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.

Shutting off the engine
N
Move the Master Control lever to the
stop position (0).
N
Blip the throttle trigger (2) the
Master Control lever (1) moves to
the run positionF and the engine
settles down to idling speed.
If the engine does not start
Do not make the mixture leaner to
achieve an apparent increase in
power – this could damage the
engine – see "Adjusting the
Carburetor".
If you did not move the Master Control
lever from the choke shutter closed
position (l) to the starting throttle
position (n) quickly enough, the engine
may be flooded.
Always disengage chain brake
before accelerating the engine.
Running the engine at high revs
with the chain brake engaged
(chain locked) will quickly damage
the engine and chain drive (clutch,
chain brake).
N
Move the Master Control lever to the
stop position (0).
N
Remove the spark plug – see
"Spark Plug".
N
Pull the hand guard back toward the
front handle.
N
N
Dry the spark plug.
The chain brake is now disengaged –
your saw is ready for operation.
Crank the engine several times with
the starter to clear the combustion
chamber.
During Operation
Always disengage chain brake
before accelerating the engine.
High revs with the chain brake
engaged (chain locked) will
quickly damage the clutch and
chain brake.
N
N
Refit the spark plug – see "Spark
Plug".
Check chain tension frequently
Set Master Control lever to the
starting throttle position (n) – even
if the engine is cold.
A new chain has to be retensioned more
often than one that has been in use for
some time.
N
N
Press in button to open the
decompression valve.
Now start the engine.
