Starting The Saw
IMPORTANT!
See starting section of the Technical Manual for
details of how to set the choke, throttle latch, etc.
WARNING!
Your chain saw is a one-person saw. Start and
operate your saw without assistance, and do not
allow other people or animals to come near you
while operating the saw.
1. The chain brake should be activated when starting the
chain saw. Activate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard forwards.
2. Place the saw on firm, level ground, and be sure the
chain is clear of all obstructions before starting the
engine.
3. Slide stop switch to "ON" position.
4. Place your right foot in the rear handle. Grip the front
handle firmly with your left hand.
5. Pull out starter cord slowly until the starter mechanism is
engaged. Never wrap the starter cord around your hand.
WARNING!
Chain will rotate after starting with throttle latch
engaged if the chain brake is not activated.

6. Apply a short, sharp pull to the starter rope, repeat
until engine starts.
IMPORTANT!
Hold the starter handle as the rope retracts. If you
allow the starter rope to pull in by itself the fast action
may damage the starter
7. Immediately press and release the throttle when the
enginge starts. That will disengage the throttle latch.
As the chain brake is still activated the engine must
return to idling speed as soon as possible by
disengaging the throttle latch in order to avoid
unnecessary wear on the clutch assembly.
8. Pull the front hand guard towards the front handle.
The chain brake is now disengaged. Your saw is now
ready for use.
WARNING!
A – Do not drop start. This method is very dangerous
because you may lose control of the saw.
WARNING!
B – Do not start your saw without the bar, chain and
clutch cover mounted. If you do, the clutch can come
loose and cause severe personal injury.
