STARTING AND STOPPING ENGINE

WARNING:
• Do not start the engine before the chain saw is completely assembled and
checked.
CAUTION:
• Move at least 3 meters (10 ft.) away from the place where the chain saw is
fuelled.
• Make sure you have a secure footing, and place the saw on the ground.
• Make sure the guide bar and saw chain does not touch anything.
• Do not forget to activate chain brake before starting the engine.
NOTICE:
• Never pull the rope to the full extension.
• Return the starter grip gently into the housing. Otherwise released starter grip
may hit your body or it may not rewind appropriately.
• The engine must be put in idle immediately after starting. If not, the clutch can be
damaged, ask authorized service center.

Starting the engine

1. Activate the chain brake (lock).
2. Hold the front handle firmly with left hand and press the chain saw against the
ground.
3. Hold down the rear handguard with your right foot.
4. Start the engine in accordance with engine circumstances as follows.

Cold start

When the engine is not used just before starting, perform the following steps:
1. Push the primer pump several times until fuel comes into the primer pump. (In
general, 7 to 10 pushes.)
2. Move up the combination switch (choke position). This also actuates the half-
throttle lock.
3. Pull the starter grip slowly until feeling compression. Then pull it strongly. It may
take two to four attempts until engine fires.
4. As soon as the engine fires, move the combination switch to the middle (I)
position. Then pull the starter grip strongly again until the engine starts running.
5. Grasp the rear handle (the throttle trigger lock-out is released by the grasp) and
pull the throttle trigger for a little, and release it.
6. Release the chain brake.
Warm start
When the engine is used just before starting and still warm, perform the following
steps:
1. Push the primer pump several times until fuel comes into the primer pump. (In
general, 7 to 10 pushes.)
2. Move up the combination switch (choke position), and then back to the middle (I)
position.
3. Pull the starter grip slowly until feeling compression. Then pull it strongly. It may
take two to four attempts until engine starts. If the engine does not start, perform
the steps of cold start (see the section "Cold start").
As soon as the engine starts running, grasp the rear handle (the throttle trigger
lock-out is released by the grasp) and pull the throttle trigger for a little then
release it.
4. Release the chain brake.
