5. Depress the safety lever (2) and slightly press on
the throttle trigger (3) so the choke moves to
the run position. (Fig X).
6. Pull the recoil starter (10) again and restart the
engine. Allow the engine to warm up.
7. When restarting the engine when it is still warm,
set the choke control (9) to the “RUN” position by
depressing the safety lever (2) and depressing
the throttle trigger (3). Hold the chainsaw
securely on the ground and pull vigorously on
the recoil starter (10). Allow the engine to run for a
few moments with the throttle trigger (3) pressed in slightly.
9. When ready to start cutting, release the front guard / chain brake (12),
by pulling it firmly towards the back 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)
Stopping the Chainsaw
1. Release the throttle trigger (3).
2. Press the on/off switch (4) to the “Off” position as indicated by the “O”. (Fig T).
NOTE: Especially after the first starting of the chainsaw, the tension of the
chain should be checked.
The chain will become loose on the first start up and will require
adjustment. Refer to the “Assembly / Installation of the Guide Bar and
Chain” section.
Checking the Oil supply
Run the engine at medium speed and check that
the chain splatters a thin line of oil which can be
seen on the ground when the guide bar (18) is
pointed downwards (Fig Y). DO NOT ALLOW THE
TIP OF THE BAR touch ANY surface when checking
the oil flow. Keep the chain (19) and guide bar (18)
well clear of ANY surface. This is normal. If there is
no line of chain oil, stop the engine immediately
and investigate the cause. The oil tank (5) could be
empty or the oil supply to the chain blocked. This
may require removal of the guide bar (18) and checking that the upper oil
hole in the bar is clear of any blockages.
