RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when used properly there is always some residual risk that
can not be excluded. From the nature and design of the tool, the
following potential hazards can be derived :
• Contact with the unprotected chain (cuts);
• Reaching into the running chainsaw (cut injury);
• Unexpected, sudden movement of the guide rail (cuts);
• Ejection of parts of the chain;
• Ejection of parts of the material to be cut;
• Impairment of hearing, if no prescribed hearing protection is worn;
• Inhalation of material to be cut;
• Risk of kickback
• This device produces an electromagnetic field during use
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. 21)
Move the ON/OFF 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 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/OFF switch (Pic. 21).
ON - I depressed
OFF - 0 depressed
2. Pull choke lever out to the full extent (to the FULL CHOKE
position) (Pic. 22)
3. Slowly press primer bulb 7 times. If bulb is already full, you may
only need to press once. (Pic. 22)
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 with your right hand until the
engine starts.
7. Allow the engine to run for approximately 5 seconds. Push
choke lever back to off position.
