one foot in the rear handlebar and firmly holding front handle-
bar with one hand. (fig. 33). Pull starter grip slowly until initial
resistance is felt. Then pull up firmly and rapidly. Repeat starting
sequence until the engine 'fires'

Caution! As soon as the engine starts, the throttle
setting has to be brought back to idling immediately.
Operating the saw with full speed or half-throttle engine setting
and with brake engaged will cause damage to the chain brake
system.
Release the chain brake by pulling back hand guard / brake lever
towards top handle until a clear 'clicking' noise is heard.
Should the engine not start despite several starting attempts,
the combustion chamber is most likely 'flooded'. In this case we
recommend you remove and dry the spark plug. Set the ignition
switch to 'stop', set the throttle lever to full speed and pull over
engine several times with the starter while the spark plug is still
removed. This will ventilate and clear the combustion chamber.

sets half-throttle
system (B). Engage the
chain brake to 'lock'
position by moving
hand guard / brake
lever forward towards
bar nose. Place chain
saw on level ground,
holding it down with
3. After the engine tries to start,
immediately push back choke
button. When re-starting, the
engine is set at half-throttle. This
is visible by the red check pin (E)
in the choke lever.
4. As soon as the engine is
running, briefly press the throttle
lever. This will disengage half-
throttle setting (the red check pin
disappears in the choke button)
and brings engine back to idling
speed.
5.. Starting with warm engine (fig.35) Start engine with throttle
set in idling position! At very cold temperatures:
- Pull choke with half-throttle automatic.
– Push back choke lever to its original position (red check pin for
half throttle setting remains visible)
– Start engine and let run for a brief moment.
– Press throttle lever to release half throttle setting and bring
back engine to idling speed. Release chain brake by pulling back
hand guard towards front handle. Note: A clear 'clicking' noise
must be heard.

Shutting off engine

The engine is shut off by moving the ignition switch
to 'stop' (0) position (fig. 35-A).
The engine switch must be in 'off' position for:
• any service work, rest breaks, refueling, transport.
• sharpening chain
• storage of the saw
- immediately shut off engine if a noticeable change in handling
characteristics occur.
– Never place a hot chain saw on dry grass or flammable
material. The muffler emits tremendous heat capable of
igniting fire.
Transportation (Fig.36)
- Before carrying a saw from one location to another,
always switch off engine or activate chain brake to
avoid injury from a moving chain.
– Never transport a chain saw with a running chain.
- For carrying a saw over longer distances, fit the bar cover over
the bar and chain.
– Hold the chain saw on the front handle. The guide bar tip should
point towards the back. Do not touch the muffler (danger of
burns).
– For transport in a vehicle, ensure the saw is well secured to
avoid any spillage of fuel or chain oil.
– For extended storage or shipment of the saw, empty both fuel
and oil tank.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF BAR AND CHAIN

Saw Chain

As with any cutting tool, saw chain is subject to normal wear
and tear. A chain saw performs best with a correctly sharpened
saw chain. The shape, cutting capability and design of a saw chain
is tailored to a specific chain saw model (fig.37).
The most important distinguishing characteristics of a saw chain
are:
1. Shape of cutter (A)
2. Chain pitch (B)
3. Gauge of drive link (C).
