Starting The Engine, Using The Machine And Switching It Off - AL-KO BKS 2625 T Manual De Instrucciones

Starting the engine, using the machine and switching it off

is normally applied automatically through inertia.
It can also be applied manually by pushing the
brake lever (hand guard) forward and down.
This brake can also be operated manually by
pressing the front hand guard forwards. To re-
lease the brake, pull the front hand guard towards
the hand grip until the brake disengages.
To check the brake effect:
1. Start the engine and hold the grips with both
hands.
2. Operate the throttle lever to keep the chain
moving, then press the brake lever forwards
using the back of your left hand; the chain
must stop immediately.
3. When the chain has stopped, immediately re-
lease the throttle lever.
4. Release the brake.
DANGER!
The machine is not allowed to be used
if the chain brake is not functioning cor-
rectly. Contact your dealer to have the
required checks carried out.
STARTING THE ENGINE, USING THE
MACHINE AND SWITCHING IT OFF
Starting the engine
WARNING!
The engine is not allowed to be started
unless it is at least 3 m away from the
fuel filling location.
Before starting the engine:
1. Place the machine on the ground in a stable
position.
2. Remove the chain guard.
3. Make sure that the bar is not touching the
ground or other objects.
Cold start
A cold start refers to starting after
at least 5 minutes has elapsed follo-
wing switching off the engine or refu-
elling. To start the engine (Fig. 8):
1. Make sure that the chain brake is applied
(front hand guard pressed fully forwards).
2. Move the switch (1) to the "START" position.
3. Activate the starter by pulling the knob (2) all
the way out.

4. Press the primer knob (3) three to four times
to enrich the mixture for starting.
5. With one hand on the grip, press the machine
firmly against the ground to prevent losing
control of the machine when starting it (Fig. 9).
WARNING!
If the machine is not held firmly, the
thrust force developed by the engine
could cause the user to lose his/her
balance or the bar might be pressed
against an object or the operator who
is starting the machine.
6. Pull the starter handle slowly out by 10–15 cm
until you feel a certain resistance, then pull
firmly a couple of times until you notice the
engine firing for the first time.
WARNING!
Never wind the starter cord around
your hand.
DANGER!
Never start the chain saw by let-
ting it drop while holding the star-
ter cord. This method is extremely
dangerous, because it represents a
complete loss of control over the ma-
chine and the chain.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage, it is better not to
pull the cord out fully or to cause it
to rub against the edge of the cord
guide opening; also, do not let go of
the handle in such a way that the
cord is retracted in an uncontrolled
manner.
7. Let the starter knob move back in about half
way.
8. Pull the starter handle again until the engine
starts correctly.
If the handle of the starter cord is pul-
led several times with the starter ac-
tuated, this can flood the engine and
make starting more difficult. If the en-
gine has flooded, remove the spark
plug and pull lightly on the handle of
the starter cord to remove the sur-
plus fuel, then dry the electrodes of
the spark plug and insert it again.
