9.1.1 Starting the motor when cold
m WARNING
Engage the chain brake before every start-up (push the
hand guard (1) forward).
m ATTENTION
Never allow the start pull cord (4) to spin back. This can result
in damage.
• Remove the cover (27) from the guide rail (16).
• Set the chainsaw down on a firm and level surface. The saw
chain (17) must not come into contact with the floor.
• Push the front hand guard (1) forwards until it latches into
place. The saw chain (17) is clamped by the chain brake.
• Press the fuel pump "primer" (7) 6x.
• Pull out the cold start (choke) lever (8) ( ).
• Place the tip of your shoe in the rear hand guard (12) (see fig.
C).
• Hold the chainsaw firmly by the front handle (2) and pull the
start pull cord (4) out slowly until you feel the first resistance.
• Now pull the start pull cord (4) and the engine should start. If
the engine does not start, repeat the process. So long as the
cold start (choke) (8) lever is pulled out ( ) the engine will run
for only a short time and then stop.
• As soon as the engine has stopped, actuate the throttle inter-
lock (9) and the throttle (10) together. The cold start (choke)
lever (8) will automatically spring back to the "warm start"
operating position.
• Now pull the start pull cord (4) again and the engine should
start.
If the engine does not start even after several attempts, read
the "Troubleshooting" chapter.
NOTE
With high outside temperatures, it may be necessary to start
the engine without the choke even when the engine is cold!
• Release the chain brake by pulling the front hand guard (1)
backwards (see fig. D). CAUTION! The chain brake is now re-
leased. If the throttle (10) is actuated together with the throttle
interlock (9), the saw chain (17) starts up.
9.1.2 Starting the motor when warm
(The device stood still for less than 15-20 minutes)
m WARNING
Engage the chain brake before every start-up (push the hand
guard (1) forward).
• Push the front hand guard (1) forwards until it latches into
place. The saw chain (17) is clamped by the chain brake.
• Press the fuel pump "primer" (7) 6x.
• The cold start lever (choke) (8) does not have to be pulled to
start a warm engine.
• Place the tip of your shoe in the rear hand guard (12) (see fig.
C).
• Hold the chainsaw firmly by the front handle (2) and pull the
start pull cord (4) out slowly until you feel the first resistance.
• Now pull the start pull cord (4) quickly. The device should
start after 1-2 pulls. If the device has still not started after 6
pulls, repeat the process described under "Starting the en-
gine when cold".
9.2 Shutting the engine off
9.2.1 Emergency stop procedure
If it is necessary to stop the device immediately, press the on/
off button (6) to position "OFF" and keep it pressed in this posi-
tion until the engine has come to a standstill.
9.2.2 Normal procedure
• Release the throttle (10). The engine goes into idle speed.
• Press the on/off button (6) to position "OFF" and keep it
pressed in this position until the engine has come to a stand-
still.
9.3 Operating while idle
m ATTENTION
When idling, the saw chain (17) must be stationary. If the saw
chain (17) moves, adjust the idle speed!
NOTE
If the saw chain (17) moves at idle or the engine stops on its own
when the throttle is released, a carburettor adjustment must be
made (see chapter "Maintenance of the carburettor settings").
• Pick up the chainsaw.
• Use the left hand to hold the front handle (2) firmly.
• Use the right hand to hold the rear handle (11) firmly. The heel
of the hand rests on the throttle interlock (9) and the index
finger operates the throttle lever (10) (see fig. E).
• After actuating the throttle lever (10) once, the engine runs at
idle speed.
• Allow the engine to warm up briefly.
9.4 Checking and adjusting chain lubrication
m ATTENTION
• Never work without chain lubrication! If the saw chain runs
dry, the set of blade and saw chain will be irreparably de-
stroyed in a short time.
• Always check chain lubrication before working.
Note
Only use saw chain oil, preferably biodegradable. Do not use
waste oil, engine oil, etc.
Check during work that the chain lubrication is working.
Hold the chainsaw during operation, at medium speed, over a
sawed-off tree stump or a suitable surface. If the lubrication is
sufficient, a light film of oil will form on the tree stump or surface
(see fig. F).
• If necessary, the chain lubrication can be increased or de-
creased by means of the oil adjustment screw (19).
• Use the slotted screwdriver (31) supplied to help:
- First press and then turn the oil adjustment screw (19)
clockwise to reduce chain lubrication.
