START AND STOP Start and stop ! WARNING! • Never start the saw engine without the bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) assembled - or else the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries. • Always move the saw away from the fueling area before starting. • Place the saw on clear ground and make sure that the chain is not contacting anything. Also, make sure that you have a secure footing. • Keep people and animals well away from the working area. Cold engine CHAIN BRAKE: Disengage the chain brake by pulling the hand guard towards the front handle. Start Grip the front handle with your left hand and hold the saw down by putting your right foot in the rear handle. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until the starter pawls engage. Then pull sharply. Push in the choke control immediately when the engine ignites and make repeated starting attemps. When the engine starts, rapidly give full throttle. Then the throttle latch will disengage. IGNITION: Move the ignition switch to startposition. CHOKE: Set the choke control in choke position. CAUTION! Do not release the starter handle from fully pulled A out position as this can cause damage on the saw. FAST IDLE: Push down the throttle trigger lockout (1). Open throttle fully (2). Press in button (3). If the saw is fitted with a decompression valve (A): Press the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder and make starting easier. Always use the decompression valve when starting the saw. Once the saw has started the valve will automatically return to its original setting. Stop The engine is stopped by switching off the ignition. (Move the ignition switch to stop position.) Warm engine Use the same procedure as for starting cold engine but without choke. 28 - English
