STARTING AND STOPPING
22 – English
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.
Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely
filled.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position.
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand and push the
chain saw to the ground. Grip the starter handle with your
right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel
a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) and then pull
firmly and rapidly.
Never twist the starter cord around
your hand.
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 down the choke control as soon as the engine fires
which can be heard through a "puff" sound. Keep on
pulling the cord powerfully until the engine starts. When
the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle; the throttle
start lock will automatically disengage.
!
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.
If you need to start the chain saw in the
tree, see instructions under the heading
Starting the saw in the tree, under the
section Working techniques.
Keep people and animals well away from
the working area.
IMPORTANT! 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 disengaging the
throttle lock. This prevents unnecessary wear to the
clutch, clutch drum and brake band.
