Holding the Saw
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 with your right 
hand on the top handle.
N Rest your right knee on the 
carburetor box cover.
Cranking
N Pull the starter grip slowly with your 
left 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.
N Do not let the starter grip snap back. 
Guide it slowly back into the housing 
so that the starter rope can rewind 
properly.
