Cold start (Choke)
Warm start (ON)
Engine off
Combination switch
in safety position
(ignition current cut off,
necessary for all mainte-
nance, repair, and
installation work)
Starting the engine
Do not start the chain saw until after it is completely as-
sembled and checked!
Move at least 3 meters / 10 feet away from the place where the
chain saw was fuelled.
Make sure you have a secure footing, and place the saw on
the ground in such a way that the guide bar and chain are not
near anything.
Actuate the chain brake (block it).
Hold the front handle Þ rmly with one hand and press the saw
against the ground.
Hold the down rear handguard with your right foot as shown.
Cold starting:
Move the combination switch (1) up (choke position). This also
actuates the half-throttle lock.
Pull the starter cable (2) out slowly until you feel resistance (the
piston is now just before top dead centre).
Push in decompression valve (5) (only on “DCS461/501” model
saws).
Now pull it quickly and powerfully until you hear the Þ rst audible
ignition.
CAUTION: Do not pull the starter cable more than about 50
cm/20” out, and let it back in slowly by hand.
Push in decompression valve (5) (only on “DCS461/501” model
saws).
Move the combination switch (1) to the central “ON” position.
Pull the starter cable again, quickly and Þ rmly. As soon as the
engine is running, grasp the rear handle (the safety lock button
(3) is actuated by the palm of the hand) and press the throttle
trigger (4).
The half-throttle lock will disengage and the engine will now
idle.
CAUTION: The engine must be put in idle immediately after
starting. If this is not done, the clutch can be damaged.
Now disengage the chain brake.
Warm starting:
As described above for cold starting, but before starting push
the combination switch (1) up (Choke position) and
then right away back to the middle “ON” position. This is only
to engage the half-throttle lock. If the engine doesn’t start after
2 or 3 pulls, repeat the entire starting procedure as described
for cold starting.
Stopping the engine
Depress the combination switch (1).
NOTE: After being pressed down, the combination switch will
revert to the ON position again. The engine is switched off, but can
be turned on again without moving the combination switch.
IMPORTANT: To cut off the ignition current, push the combina-
tion switch all the way down past the resistance point to the
safety position (
).
