Grasp the chain saw ﬁrmly, wrapping your ﬁngers and

thumbs around the handles.

(51)

Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting

your left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let

go of the front handle.

The chain should stop

immediately.

(46)

Throttle lockout

• Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle

setting when the throttle lockout is released.

(90)

• Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to

its original position when you release it.

(91)

• Check that the throttle trigger and throttle lockout

move freely and that the return springs work properly.

(92)

• Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the

throttle control and check that the chain stops and

remains stationary. If the chain rotates when the

throttle control is in the idle position you should check

the carburettor idle adjustment.

Chain catcher

Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is ﬁrmly

attached to the body of the chain saw.

(93)

Right hand guard

Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that

there are no visible defects, such as cracks.

(12)

Vibration damping system

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or

deformation. Make sure the vibration damping units are

securely attached to the engine unit and handle unit.

(94)

Stop switch

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when

you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

(47)

CAUTION! The start/stop switch automatically returns to

run position. In order to prevent unintentional starting, the

spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug

when assembling, checking and/or performing

maintenance.

Mufﬂer

Never use a machine that has a faulty mufﬂer.

Regularly check that the mufﬂer is securely attached to

the machine

(95)

Some mufﬂers are equipped with a special spark arrestor

mesh. If your machine has this type of mufﬂer, you should

clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done

with a wire brush. A blocked mesh will cause the engine

to overheat and may lead to serious damage.

Note! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the

mesh is b

locked the machine will overheat and this will

cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a

machine with a mufﬂer that is in poor condition.

Never

use a mufﬂer if the spark arrestor mesh is missing or

defective.

(14)

The mufﬂer is designed to reduce the noise level and to

direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The

exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may

cause ﬁre if directed against dry and combustible

material.

Starter

Replacing the starter cord

• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the

crankcase and remove the starter.

(96)

• Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the

notch in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil spring

by letting the pulley rotate slowly backwards.

(97)

• Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove

the drive disc (A), drive disc spring (B) and the pulley

(C). Insert and secure a new starter cord in the starter

pulley. Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord on the

starter pulley. Fit the starter pulley so that the end of

the recoil spring (D) hooks into the starter pulley. Now

WARNING! When the recoil spring is

wound up in the starter housing it is

under tension and can, if handled

carelessly, pop out and cause personal

injury.

Care must be exercised when replacing

the return spring or the starter cord.

Wear protective glasses and protective

gloves.
