• As soon as the engine has stopped, actuate the
throttle interlock (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 at-
tempts, 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 released. If the throttle (10) is ac-
tuated together with the throttle interlock (9), the saw
chain (17) starts up.
9.1.2 Starting the engine 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 latch-
es into place. The saw chain (17) is clamped by the
chain brake.
• Switch the ON/OFF switch (6) to "ON".
• 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 procedure described
under "Starting the engine when cold".
9.2 Shutting the engine off
9.2.1 Emergency stop procedure
If it is necessary to stop the device immediately, set
the ON/OFF switch (6) to "OFF".
9.2.2 Normal stop sequence
• Release the throttle (10). The engine goes into idle
speed.
• Then set the ON/OFF switch (6) to "OFF".

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. D).
• After pressing the throttle lever (10) once, the en-
gine 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 cutting gear will be irreparably
destroyed 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 work-
ing.
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. E).
9.5 Checking the chain brake
m WARNING
The chain brake must be checked before each use.
The chain brake brakes the saw chain immediately in
the event of kick-back.
• Make sure that the front hand guard (1) is free of dirt
and moves easily.
• Start the chainsaw and accelerate the saw chain to
full speed (full throttle).
