Holding the Saw
There are two ways of holding the saw 
when starting.
On the ground
N Place your saw on the ground. 
Make sure you have a firm footing – 
check that the chain is not touching 
any object or the ground.
N Hold the saw firmly on the ground 
with your left hand on the front 
handle – your thumb should be 
under the handle.
N Put your right foot into the rear 
handle and press down.
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.
Cranking
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.
