First Time Start-Up
If a saw is left in the fast idle position with the chain brake
engaged for even a very short period of time it may overheat
the clutch and chain brake components and possibly ruin the
tank housing as well
To stop the engine raise the Master Control Lever™ to the 0
(off) position, #4 in the picture

First Time Start-Up: Warm Up
After the engine has started and the chain brake has been
released, slowly squeeze the throttle about half way open and
then slowly release it back to idle
Do this several times, for at least 20 seconds, to completely
purge any remaining air from the carburetor circuits and to
allow the chain lubrication pump time to prime the system with
bar and chain oil
Never allow any chain saw engine to run at full throttle without
a load, regardless if it is new or broken-in, for more than a few
seconds
