Starting and stopping

Starting

The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is

started. Activate the brake by moving the front hand guard

forwards. (55)

Cold engine

Start position, 1: Set the start/stop switch in the choke

position by pulling the red control outward - upward. (56)

Air purge (2): Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly

until fuel ﬁlls the diaphragm (at least 6 times). The

diaphragm need not be completely ﬁlled. (56)

Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain

saw on the ground by placing your right foot through the

rear handle. (57)

Pull the starter handle, 3: 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 until the engine ﬁres.

Push down the red choke control, 4: As soon as the

engine ﬁres which can be heard through a "puff" sound,

push down on the red choke control.

Pull the starter handle (5): Keep on pulling the cord

powerfully until the engine starts.

Warm engine

Start position, 1: The correct choke/start throttle setting

for warm starting is obtained by initially moving the choke

control by pulling the red control outward - upwards. (56)

Air purge (2): Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly

until fuel ﬁlls the diaphragm (at least 6 times). The

diaphragm need not be completely ﬁlled. (56)

Push down the red choke control, 3: This inactivates

the choke, which is not needed when starting a warm

chain saw. However the movement of the start/stop switch

will have engaged a high idle, making warm starting

easier.

Pull the starter handle, 4: Grip the front handle with your

left hand. Hold the chain saw on the ground by placing

your right foot through the rear handle. (57)

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 until the

engine starts.

As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the engine

must be set to idling as soon as possible, this is achieved

by disengaging the throttle lock. Disengagement is done

by gently touching on the throttle trigger. This prevents

unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and brake

band. Allow the machine to idle a few seconds before

giving full throttle.

There is a simpliﬁed start reminder with illustrations to

describe each step on the rear edge of the saw (A). (57)

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.

Note! Pull the front hand guard towards the front

handle. The chain brake is now disengaged. Your chain

saw is now ready for use.

• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all

covers are ﬁtted correctly. See instructions under the

heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached

to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause

serious injury.

• The chain brake should be activated when starting. Se

instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do not

drop start. This method is very dangerous because

you may lose control of the saw. (55)

• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can

be dangerous if inhaled.

• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there

is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with

the cutting equipment.

• Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand

should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the

front handle. All people, whether right or left handed,

should use this grip. Use a ﬁrm grip with thumbs and

ﬁngers encircling the chain saw handles.

Stopping

Stop the engine by pushing the start/stop switch down.

(59)

CAUTION! The start/stop switch automatically returns to

run position. To avoid involuntary start up, the spark plug

cap must always be removed from the spark plug when

the machine is unsupervised. (60)

WARNING! Note the following before

starting:

The chain brake must be engaged when

the chain saw is started to reduce the

chance of contact with the moving chain

during 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.

Never twist the starter cord around your

hand.

WARNING! Long term inhalation of the

engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist

and dust from sawdust can represent a

health risk.
