: Place your saw on the ground.
Make sure you have a firm footing –
check that chain is not touching any
object or the ground.
Bystanders must be well clear of the
general work area of the saw.
: Hold the saw firmly on the ground
with your left hand on the front
handle – your thumb should be
under the handle.
: Put your right foot into the rear
handle and press down.
Alternative method of starting:
: Hold the rear handle tightly between
your legs, just above the knees.
: Hold the front handle firmly with
your left hand – your thumb should
be under the handle.
If the engine is new, pull the starter
several times to prime the fuel system.
Machines with standard starter grip:
: Pull the starter grip slowly with your
right hand until you feel it engage –
then give the grip a brisk strong pull
and push down the front handle at
the same time.
: Do not pull out the starter rope to its
full length – it might otherwise
break.
: Do not let the starter grip snap back
– guide it slowly and vertically into
the housing so that the starter rope
can rewind properly.
