Starting and stopping
Cold engine
Starting: The chain brake must be engaged when the
chain saw is started. Activate the brake by moving the
front hand guard forwards.
(23)
Air purge:
Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins
to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.
(26)
Choke:
Pull the blue choke/fast idle lever out to the full
extent (to the FULL CHOKE position). When the choke/
fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent, the correct
throttle setting is set automatically.
(24)
Start throttle:
The correct choke/start throttle setting is
obtained by moving the control to the choke position.
(25)
Starting
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
star
ter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the
starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly until the
engine fires.
Never twist the starter cord around your
hand.
(28)
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.
Push in the choke control to the ”HALF choke” setting as
soon as the engine fires which can be heard through a
"puff" sound. (24)
Keep on pulling the cord powerfully 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 quickly pressing the throttle trigger once. This prevents
unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and brake
band.
(29)
Note!
Reactivate the chain brake by pulling the front hand
guard back (marked ”PULL BACK TO RESET”) towards
the front handle. The chain saw is now ready for use.
(30)
There is a simplified start reminder with illustrations
to describe eac
h step on the rear edge of the saw.
Warm engine
Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position. Set
the throttle to the start position by pulling out the blue
choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in
again.
(27)
• 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.
(31)
• 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.
(32)
• 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.
(33)
Stopping
Stop the engine by pressing down the stop button. (34)
!
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.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
