Position warm start n
–
If engine is warm (once the engine has been
running for approx. one minute)
► Hold and start the chain saw
18.7 When the engine has turned
over for the first time
► Move the master control lever (4) to the posi‐
tion warm start n
► Hold and start the chain saw
18.8 Once the engine is running
► Press the throttle trigger lockout and blip the
throttle trigger (3); the master control lever (4)
jumps to run F and the engine begins to idle
► Pull the hand guard toward the handlebar
The chain brake is released - the chain saw is
ready for use.
NOTICE
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.
18.9 At very low temperatures
► Let the engine warm up briefly with the throttle
slightly open
► if necessary, configure for winter operation,
see "Winter Operation"
18.10 Switching off the engine
► Move the master control lever to the stop posi‐
tion 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.
18.11 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.

tion 0
► Remove the spark plug - see "Spark plug"
► Dry the spark plug

►
Set the master control lever to warm start n –
even if the engine is cold
► Restart the engine
19 Operating Instructions
19.1 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 dur‐
ing 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.
