Starting the Chainsaw
5. Push the choke control (9) fully inward being the
run position (Fig X).
6. Pull the recoil starter (10) again and restart the
engine. Allow the engine to warm up.
7. Depress the safety lever (2) and slightly squeeze
the throttle trigger (3), and then release the
trigger. This will disengage the throttle lock
switch (5) and allow the chainsaw to idle at
the correct idle speed. When restarting the
engine when it is still warm, set the choke
control (9) to the “RUN” position (fully inward).
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 C)
Stopping the Chainsaw
1. Release the throttle trigger (3).
2. Push down the on/off switch (4) to the “OFF” position (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. The
oil may take up to a minute to show. If there is
no line of chain oil, stop the engine immediately
and investigate the cause. The oil tank (6) 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.
