N Pull the hand guard toward the
handlebar
The chain brake is released – the chain
saw is ready for use.
Open the throttle only when the chain
brake is off. Increased engine speeds
with the chain brake on (saw chain is
stationary) will quickly damage the
clutch and chain brake.
At very low temperatures
N Let the engine warm up briefly with
the throttle slightly open
N If necessary, configure for winter
operation – see "Winter Operation"
Switching off the engine
N Move the master control lever to the
stop position 0
If the Master Control lever was moved
from the position warm start n to stop 0
– afterwards simultaneously press the
throttle trigger lockout and the throttle
trigger.
If the engine does not start
The master control lever was not
returned from the position cold start l
to warm start n in time, the engine may
be flooded.
N Move the master control lever to the
stop position 0
N Remove the spark plug – see
"Spark plug"
N Dry spark plug
N Crank the engine several times with
the starter – to clear the combustion
chamber
N Replace the spark plug – see "Spark
plug"
N Set the master control lever to warm
start n – even if the engine is cold
N Restart the engine
When the fuel tank has run completely
empty and then been refueled
N Pull the starter rope several times to
prime the fuel line
N Restart the engine
During the break-in period
A factory new machine should not be run
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the
first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessarily high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
shortblock are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During work
Do not make the mixture leaner to
achieve an apparent increase in power –
this could damage the engine – see
"Adjusting the Carburetor".
Open the throttle only when the chain
brake is off. Running the engine at high
revs with the chain brake engaged
(chain locked) will quickly damage the
shortblock and chain drive (clutch, chain
brake).
Check chain tension frequently
A new saw chain must be retensioned
more frequently than one that has been
in use already for an extended period.
