Starting when the engine is cold

m WARNING!
Engage the chain brake before every use (push hand guard
(1) forwards).
m CAUTION!
Never allow the starter pull cord (4) to whip back. This could
cause damage.
• Remove the cover (27) from the guide rail (16).
• Place the chainsaw on a firm, level surface. The saw chain
(17) must not touch the ground.
• Push the front hand guard (1) forwards until it clicks into
place. The saw chain (17) will be locked by the chain brake.
• Press the fuel pump "Primer" (7) 6 times.
• Switch the On/Off switch (6) to "ON".
• Pull the choke (8) out ( ).
• Place the tip of your shoe into the rear hand guard (12) (see
fig. C).
• Hold the chainsaw firmly by the front handle (2) and pull the
starter pull cord (4) slowly until you feel resistance.
• Now pull the starter pull cord (4) quickly so that the engine
starts. If the engine does not start, repeat the process. As
long as the choke (8) is out ( ), the engine will only run for
a short time and then switch off.
• As soon as the engine is off, press the throttle control lock (9)

automatically jumps to the "warm start" operating position.
• Now pull the starter pull cord (4) quickly again so that the
engine starts.
If the engine does not start after several attempts, read the
"Troubleshooting".
m CAUTION!
Always pull the starter pull cord (4) straight out. Hold the han-
dle of the starter pull cord (4) firmly when the starter pull cord
(4) retracts. Do not allow the starter pull cord (4) to whip back.

backwards (see fig. D). CAUTION! The chain brake is now
released and the saw chain (17) now runs freely.

If the saw chain (17) moves when it is idling or the engine
goes out when you release the throttle, you need to adjust the
carburettor (see section "Maintaining the carburettor settings").
• Lift the chainsaw.
• Hold the front handle (2) firmly in your left hand.
• Hold the rear handle (11) firmly in your right hand. The ball
of your hand now lies on the throttle control lock (9) and your
index finger operates the throttle control (10) (see fig. E).
