Starting the Chainsaw
WARNING: Do not start the engine whilst the chainsaw hangs from one hand.
This is very dangerous as the chain (19) may come in contact with your body.
1. Fill the fuel and oil tanks respectively per previous instructions and ensure
both caps are secure. Remove the bar cover (30).
2. Press the on/off switch (4) to the “On” position as indicated by an “I” (Fig T).
Make sure the front guard / chain brake (12) is on when starting for safety
by pulling it firmly towards the front of the chainsaw until a click is heard.
(Some generous force can be used as this is a firm operation and will
require the operator to pull back firmly). (Fig U)
3. When the machine is cold, first pull out the choke
control (9) to the fully extended “CHOKE” position
(also as indicated by the picture on the chainsaw
above the choke control (9). (Fig V).
NOTE: Once the choke control (9) has been pulled out, it cannot
be pushed back to the run position. The choke control (9) returns
automatically when the throttle trigger (3) is operated.
NOTE: Point 3 is not required if the engine is
warm or is being restarted.
4. Hold the chainsaw securely on the ground and
pull vigorously on the recoil starter (10). (Fig W)
Repeat (up to 15 times for first time operation)
until the engine “kicks” (attempts to start).
