Between knees or thighs
N Hold the rear handle tightly between
your legs, just above the knees.
N Hold the front handle firmly with
your left hand – your thumb should
be under the handle.
Starting
Standard versions
N Pull the starter grip slowly with your
right hand until you feel it engage –
and then give it a brisk strong pull
and push down the front handle at
the same time. Do not pull out the
starter rope to full length – it might
otherwise break. Do not let the
starter grip snap back. Guide it
slowly back into the housing so that
the starter rope can rewind properly.
Machines without additional manual fuel
pump: If the engine is new or after a long
out-of-service period, it may be
necessary to pull the starter rope several
times to prime the fuel system.
Versions with Easy2Start
The Easy2Start stores the energy
required to start the saw. For this reason
there may be a delay of a few seconds
between cranking the engine and it
actually starting.
There are two ways of starting machines
with Easy2Start:
N Hold the starter grip with your right
hand and pull it out slowly and
steadily – or – hold the starter grip
with your right hand and give it
several short pulls, using only a
short length of rope for each pull.
N Push down the handle while
cranking. Do not pull out the rope to
its full length – it might otherwise
break.
N Do not let the starter grip snap back.
Guide it slowly back into the housing
so that the starter rope can rewind
properly.
Starting the saw
WARNING
Bystanders must be well clear of the
general work area of the saw.
