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. Lift the on/off switch (4) to the “On” position (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
move the guard firmly) (Fig C).
3. When the machine is cold, first pull out the choke
control (9) to the fully extended position (also as
indicated by the picture on the chainsaw above the
choke control (9) (Fig U).
Engage the throttle lock switch (5) by fully depressing the safety lever (2)
and then fully squeeze the throttle trigger (3). Press the throttle lock switch
(5) inward and at the same time slowly release
the throttle trigger (3). The throttle lock switch
(5) will remain engaged (Fig V).
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).
