do not slip out of the chain guides if you hold
the chain in the middle of the bar (Fig. 10).

Starter is not engaged (normal
operations and warm start).
Position B (Fig. 11.B) - the Starter
is engaged (for a cold start). .
5.3 PRIMER CONTROL BUTTON
Used only to turn on the engine
when cold (Fig. 12.A).
Press the rubber button of the primer
to inject fuel into the carburettor
intake manifold to facilitate startup
when the engine is cold.
5.4 THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER
Used to regulate the chain speed.
The throttle control lever (Fig. 12.B) can
only be used is the throttle break lever is
pressed simultaneously (Fig. 12.C).
The correct running speed will be
achieved by pressing the throttle control
lever (Fig. 12.B) as far as possible.
5.5 THROTTLE BRAKE LEVER

throttle control lever to be used (Fig. 12.B).
5.6 HANDLE FOR MANUAL START
For manual engine start-up (Fig. 11.D).
5.7 CHAIN BRAKE
This is a safety braking system that blocks
chain movement when kickback occurs during
cutting. Kickbacks occur following an irregular
contact of the tip of the bar, with a brusque
upward movement of the bar that causes the
hand to strike the front guard (Fig. 1.D).
It must be manually released to
disengage the chain brake.
Chain brake disengaged. This
is achieved when the front hand
guard (Fig. 1.D) is pulled all the
way back, towards the machine
body, until it clicks into position.
Chain brake engaged. This
is achieved when the front
hand guard (Fig. 1.D) is
pushed all the way forward.
Do not use the machine if the chain
brake does not function correctly and
have it inspected by your dealer.
