3.8 Functional parts for starting up the chainsaw
Starter handle (17) and starter cable
The following instructions are intended to extend the service life of the starter mechanism:
• To start the engine, first pull the starter handle carefully until a first resistance is felt (top dead
centre point of the piston), and then pull it through in a fast and strong motion.
• Always pull the cable in a straight direction.
• Do not allow the cable to chafe on the edge of the cable eyelet.
• Avoid pulling the cable all the way out - risk of breaking the cable.
• Always guide the starter handle back to its starting position - do not just let go and allow it to
speed back by itself.
A damaged starter cable can be replaced by a specialist.
Choke lever (7) and part throttle setting
The choke lever is pulled out (7) to close the starter flap on the carburettor (cold start setting).
! This also activates the part throttle setting at the same time.
When the choke lever is pushed back in (the starter flap on the carburettor is open) the part throttle
setting remains active.
Operate the throttle control to cancel the part throttle setting.
This applies both when the engine is running and when it is switched off.
Depending on the version: Decompression valve (a)
When the decompression valve is depressed, the compression
pressure in the combustion chamber is reduced. This means that
the engine offers less resistance during start-up, which makes it
noticeably easier to start the engine. When the cable is pulled the
decompression valve automatically jumps back to the normal
position. If you need to pull the starter cable more than once to start
the engine (e.g. during a cold start), press the decompression valve
again each time.
