Figure 34 Incorrect Brake Lever
Close up of chain brake
not in lock position - the
incorrect position.
Never start your chain saw using the
drop method where you drop the saw with
one hand while pulling the starting cord with
the other hand.
This is highly dangerous!
7. Lay the chain saw onto the ground and then position
yourself with your right boot in the throttle handle
area (⑪ in diagram) firmly keeping it still. See fig 35.
8. At the same time firmly hold with the left hand onto
the main handle (⑥ in diagram). See fig 36.
9. Pull the pull cord firmly until the engine starts. Make
sure that you never let go of it allowing it to retract
quickly as this will damage the pull cord mechanism.
See fig 37.
