STARTING/STOPPING THE CHAIN SAW
Before Starting the Chain Saw:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Make sure that the chain is properly mounted and correctly tensioned. If the
tension requires adjustment, refer to the chapter "Adjusting the Chain
Tension" in the "Maintenance" section of this manual for adjustment
instructions.
3. Check the tension of the side-cover knob before use. If it is loose, securely
tighten the side-cover knob by turning it clockwise.
4. Check the oil level and fill the tank as needed.
5. Check the cutting teeth sharpness of the saw chain.
6. Make sure the chain kickback brake handle moves easily to the brake position
and forth easily between the brake position and the operating position.
7. Hold the chain saw with both hands: with the right hand on the rear handle and
the left hand on the front handle.
8. Stand upright, hold the chain saw in a relaxed position, and make sure the saw
chain is not touching the ground or any other objects.
9. Make sure that you have a secure and balanced footing. Watch out for obstacles
such as tree stumps, roots and ditches, which could cause you to trip or stumble.
