STARTING AND STOPPING
WARNING! Note the following before start-
ing:Thechainbrakemustbeengagedwhen
the chain saw is started to reduce the chance
of contact with the moving chain during starting.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are tted correctly. Otherwise the clutch can
comelooseandcausepersonalinjuries.Placethema-
chine on rm ground. Make sure you have a secure
footing and that the chain cannot touch anything.
Keeppeopleandanimalswellawayfromtheworking
area.

Starting:Thechainbrakemustbeengagedwhenthe
chain saw is started. Activate the brake by moving the
front hand guard forwards.
1.Air purge:Press theair purgerepeatedlyuntil fuel
begins tollthe bulb. Thebulbneed not be com-
pletelylled.
2.Choke:Pullthebluechoke/fastidleleverouttothe
fullextent(totheFULLCHOKEposition).Whenthe
choke/ fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent,
the correct throttle setting is set automatically.

tion.
Starting
Gripthefronthandlewithyourlefthand.Holdthechain
saw on the ground by placing your right foot through
the rear handle.
3.Pullthestarterhandlewithyourrighthandandpull
out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance
(as the starter pawls engage) then pull rmly and
rapidly. Never twist the starter cord around your
hand.
CAUTION!Donotpullthestartercordallthe
way out and do not let go of the starter handle
when the cord is fully extended. This can
damage the machine.
4.Push in the choke control to the ”1/2 choke” set-
tingassoonastheenginereswhichcanbeheard
througha"pu󰀨"sound.
5.Keeponpullingthecordpowerfullyuntiltheengine
starts. Allow engine to warm for thirty seconds, then
squeeze throttle trigger to set normal idle.
As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the
engine must be set to idling as soon as possible, this
is achieved by quickly pressing the throttle trigger
once.Thispreventsunnecessaryweartotheclutch,
clutch drum and brake band.
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel
andchainoiltanksregularly.Thefuelltermustbere-
placed at least once a year. Contamination in the tanks
causes malfunction.
Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking the con-
tainerbeforerefuelling.Thecapacitiesofthechainoil
tank and fuel tank are carefully matched. You should
thereforealwaysllthechainoiltankandfueltankat
the same time.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapour are highly
ammable.Takecarewhenhandlingfueland
chainoil.Beawareoftherisksofre,explo-
sion and those associated with inhalation.
FUEL SAFETY
● Never refuel the machine while the engine is run-
ning.
● Makesurethereisplentyofventilationwhenrefuel-
ling or mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
● Move themachine atleast3 mfrom therefuelling
point before starting it.
● Neverstartthemachine:
1 If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine.
Wipe o󰀨 the spillage and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
WARNING! Never use a machine with visible
damage to the spark plug guard and ignition
cable. A risk of sparking arises, which can
causeare.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
● Always store the chain sawandfuel so that there
is no risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact
with sparks or nakedamesfromelectrical equip-
ment, electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and
the like.
● Alwaysstorefuelinanapprovedcontainerdesigned
for that purpose.
● Forlongerperiodsofstorageorfortransportofthe
chain saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be
emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel
and chain oil at your local petrol station.
● Ensurethemachineiscleanedandthatacomplete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
● The barguard mustalwaysbe ttedto thecutting
attachment when the machine is being transported
or in storage, in order to prevent accident contact
withthesharpchain.Evenanon-movingchaincan
cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump
into with an exposed chain.
● Securethemachineduringtransport.
