Operating the Chainsaw
Step 1 - Starting the Engine (continued)
1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture. (Fig. 7)
2. Fill the oil tank (B) with correct chain and bar oil. (Fig. 7)
3. Be certain the chain brake is engaged (C) before starting unit. (Fig. 7)
1. Move ON/OFF switch to ON “I”position. (Fig. 8A)
2. Pull choke lever/throttle (A) in advance. This sets choke and advances throttle for easier starting.
(Fig. 8B)
3. Press primer bulb (B) 10 times. (Fig. 8C)
4. With saw on ground, grip front handle rmly with left hand and place right foot inside rear handle.
Pull starter rope 4 times with right hand. (Fig. 8D)
1. Make sure the on/off switch is in the “I” position.
2. Depress the primer bulb 10 times.
3. Pull the starter rope rapidly 4 times. The engine should start.
4. If the engine still can not start, follow the step as “To start engine” in this user manual.
1. Release trigger and allow engine to return to idle speed.
2. Press STOP switch down to stop engine. (Figure 9)
NOTE: Easy Start signicantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter
rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly--
there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly different from
(and much easier than) what you may be used to.
5. Push choke lever (C) in completely. (Fig. 8E)
6. Pull starter rope quickly until engine starts.
7. Allow the engine to run for about 10 seconds. Squeeze and release throttle trigger (D) to idle engine.
(Fig. 8F)
8. If the engine does not start up, repeat the above steps.
WARNING: Never start or operate the saw unless the bar and chain are properly installed.
