• The protective equipment and cutting equipment is complete and in perfect working

Start the appliance (Fig. 10-13)
Never start or operate the chainsaw if the chain and the chain brake lever or the front
hand guard have not been properly installed. In addition, always start with the chain
brake active. Proceed as follows for this:
• Remove the guide-bar cover (15) from the guide bar (2).
• Place the chainsaw on a firm, level surface. The saw chain (1) must not touch the ground.
• Push the front hand guard (3) forwards until it clicks into place. The saw chain (1) will be
locked by the chain brake.
• Press the fuel pump “Primer“ (24) 10 times.
• Switch the On/Off switch (11) to “ON” (11a).
• Pull the choke (7) out ( ).
• Place the tip of your shoe into the rear handle (9) (see fig. 13).
• Hold the chainsaw firmly by the front handle (4) and pull the starter pull cord (13) slowly
until you feel resistance.
• Now pull the starter pull cord (13) quickly so that the engine starts. If the engine does
not start, repeat the process. As long as the choke (7) is out ( ), the engine will only run
for a short time and then switch off.
• As soon as the engine is off, press the throttle control lock (8) and the throttle trigger
(10) simultaneously. The choke (7) automatically jumps to the “warm start” operating
position.
• Now pull the starter pull cord (13) quickly again so that the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after several attempts, read the “Troubleshooting”.
