: Place your saw on the ground.
Make sure you have a firm footing –
check that chain is not touching any
object or the ground.
Bystanders must be well clear of the
general work area of the saw!
: Hold the saw firmly on the ground
with your left hand on the front
handle – your thumb should be
under the handle.
: Put your right foot into the rear
handle and press down.
Alternative method of starting:
: Hold the rear handle tightly between
your legs, just above the knees.
: Hold the front handle firmly with
your left hand – your thumb should
be under the handle.
: Pull the starter grip slowly with your
right hand until you feel it engage –
and then give it a brisk strong pull
and push down the front handle at
the same time. Do not pull out the
starter rope all the way - it might
otherwise break. Do not let the
starter grip snap back – guide it
slowly and vertically into the
housing so that the starter rope can
rewind properly.
If engine is new or after a long out-of-
service period it may be necessary to
pull the starter rope several times to
prime the fuel system.
