IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full extent of the
rope as this can cause the rope to break. Do not let starter rope
snap back . Hold the handle and let the rope rewind slowly.
For cold weather starting, start the unit at FULL CHOKE, allow
the engine to warm up before squeezing the throttle trigger.
Note: Do not attempt to cut material with the choke/fast idle
lever in the FULL CHOKE position.
To Stop The Engine (Pic. 12)
Move the ON/STOP switch to the OFF position.
Warning: DO NOT put the chainsaw on the ground when the
chain is still moving.
Always engage the chain brake when it is not in use.
Starting a Cold Engine (Or Warm Engine After Running
Out Of Fuel)
Note: In the following steps, when the choke lever is pulled out
to the full extent, the correct throttle setting for starting is set
automatically.
1. Move the ON/STOP switch to the RUN position (Pic. 12).
RUN/ON - I depressed
OFF - 0 depressed
2. Pull choke lever out to the full extent (to the FULL CHOKE
position) (Pic. 13)
3. Slowly press primer bulb 7 times.
4. Pull the starter rope sharply 5 times with your right hand.
Then proceed to the next step.
Note: If the engine sounds as if it is trying to start before the 5th
pull, stop pulling and immediately proceed to the next step.
5. Push the choke lever in to the HALF CHOKE position.
6. Pull the starter rope sharply you’re your right hand until the
engine starts.
7. Allow the engine to run for approximately 5 seconds. Push
choke lever back to off position.
Starting a Warm Engine
1. Move ON/STOP switch to the ON position.
2. Then push the lever in to the HALF CHOKE position.
3. Pull the starter rope sharply you’re your right hand until the
engine starts.
4. Push the choke lever back to off position.
Difficult Starting (Or Starting a Flooded Engine)
The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not
started after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess
fuel by pushing the choke lever in completely (to the OFF CHOKE
position) and then following the warm engine starting procedure
listed above. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.
Starting could require pulling the starter rope handle many
times depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails
to start, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or seek help
from an authorised service centre.
