Versions with Easy2Start
The Easy2Start stores the energy
required to start the saw. For this reason
there may be a delay of a few seconds
between cranking the engine and it
actually starting.
There are two ways of starting machines
with Easy2Start:
N Hold the starter grip with your right
hand and pull it out slowly and
steadily – or – hold the starter grip
with your right hand and give it
several short pulls, using only a
short length of rope for each pull.
N Push down the handle while
cranking. Do not pull out the rope to
its full length – it might otherwise
break.
N Do not let the starter grip snap back.
Guide it slowly back into the housing
so that the starter rope can rewind
properly.
Starting the saw
N Observe safety precautions.
Versions with manual fuel pump
N Press the fuel pump bulb at least
five times – even if the bulb is
already filled with fuel.

N Press down trigger lockout (2) and
