OPERATION
• Push the choke lever, (C, Fig. 47) fully down (1).
47
• Depress the compression relief valve (A, Fig. 48). Pull the
starter rope until the first firing of the engine is heard (no more
than five (5) pulls). A new unit may require additional pulls.
NOTE: Compression relief valve automatically resets after
the first firing.
• Move the choke lever, (C, Fig. 49) to the intermediate position (2).
• Pull the starter rope to start the engine.
• Once the engine is going release the chain brake and wait
48
for a few seconds. Place chain brake lever / hand guard into
the run position as shown in Fig. 46. Refer to Safety-Chain
Brake and Operation-Chain Brake Sections for additional
information.
• Then accelerate with the throttle (B, Fig. 50) to fire the half
throttle-blocking device.
WARNING: Do not cut material with the choke/fast
idle lever at the FULL CHOKE position. Do not
operate your chainsaw with the starting throttle
49
lock engaged. Cutting with the starting throttle
lock engaged does not permit the operator proper
control of the saw or chain speed.
NOTE - STARTING WARM ENGINE:
Follow above starting instructions, but do not use the Full
Choke position for start up again. To set fast idle for warm
engine starting, pull choke out completely and push back in
to the original Run Position.

WARNING: Weather conditions and altitude may
affect carburetion. Do not allow bystanders close to
the chain saw while adjusting the carburetor.
WARNING: Never attempt to start the chainsaw
when the guide bar is in a cut or kerf.
51
WARNING: Never start the saw engine without the
bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) assembled
- or else the clutch can come loose and cause
personal injuries.
Ice Device System (Fig. 51)
In the event of temperatures below 0°C, move the cursor (A,
52
Fig. 52) to the winter position. The winter symbol (Fig. 52) must be
indicated by the arrow stamped on the slide. In this way heated air
from the cylinder is also taken in, preventing thus the formation of
ice inside the carburettor.
When the temperature rises above +10°C, move the cursor (A,
Fig. 53) to the summer position. Failure to reset this parameter
could impair motor performance due to overheating.
