Position B - the choke is
engaged (for a cold start).

5.3 PRIMER CONTROL BUTTON

Press the rubber button of the primer
to inject fuel into the carburettor
intake manifold to facilitate startup
when the engine is cold (Fig. 13.F).

5.4 THROTTLE TRIGGER LEVER

Used to regulate the chain speed.
The throttle trigger lever (Fig. 12.B) can
only be used if the interlock lever is
pressed simultaneously (Fig. 12.C).
The correct running speed will be
achieved by pressing the throttle trigger
lever (Fig. 12.B) as far as possible.

5.5 INTERLOCK LEVER

5.6 HANDLE FOR MANUAL START

Used for manual engine start-up (Fig. 13.E).

5.7 CHAIN BRAKE

This is a safety braking system that
blocks the chain movement when
kickback occurs during cutting.
Kickbacks occur following an irregular
contact of the tip of the bar with a rapid
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 front hand
grip 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.
