TO START THE ENGINE
The chain brake must be engaged when starting the saw. Push
chain brake forward to engage. The chainsaw is started on the
ground. Make sure the chain brake is disengaged and place the
chainsaw on firm level ground or other solid surface in an open
area. Maintain good balance and secure footing.
Grip the front handlebar of the saw firmly with your left hand
and left hand and press down. For saws with a rear handle
level with the ground, put the toe of your right foot into the rear
handle and press down. With your right hand pull out the starter
pull cord slowly until you feel a definite resistance and then give
it a brisk pull until the engine starts. See Picture 11 for starting
process.
To prevent possible restarting problems avoid running the fuel
tank dry. This will help to extend engine life.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pre - Operation Preparation
Note: If unit has previously been used, the motor, muffler and
exhaust may still be hot enough to burn. Always exercise
caution when checking the chainsaw.
1. Check that the fuel/engine switch is OFF.
2. Check that the spark plug lead is firmly attached to the top
of the spark plug.
3. Holding on to the handles gently rock the chainsaw and
listen for any noise which may indicate loose items. If
anything appears to be loose either tighten or consult a
service agent.
Filling

can cause the chainsaw to run rough and damage the motor;
this will not be covered by warranty.

3. Lay chainsaw on its side and remove fuel tank cap.
