Starting The Engine; Stopping The Engine - Shindaiwa 285s Manual Del Propietario - Operador

Engine Start and Stop
WARNING!
This chain saw is equipped with a
fast idle feature for ease of engine
starting. When the fast idle is set, the
saw chain will rotate when the engine
starts! Rotating saw chain can cause
serious injury. Clear a safe work area
before starting the engine.
NOTE:
This engine ignition system is controlled
by a two-position "ON-OFF" switchlabeled
"I" for ON and "O" for OFF located near
the rear handle.
IMPORTANT!
This chain saw is equipped with a
throttle trigger lock out system designed
to prevent unintended throttle activa-
tion. This system requires the operator
to first depress the throttle lock out lever
on top of the rear handle to release the
trigger from the engine idle position.
Engine start:
1. Move the ignition ON-OFF switch to
the ON position.
2. COLD ENGINE ONLY: Completely
close the choke by pulling the choke
control out to the fully extended posi-
tion. This motion will automatically
engage the "fast idle" setting.
3. WARM ENGINE: Pull the choke
control out to its fully extended posi-
tion and then push the choke control
all the way in again. This motion will
automatically engage the "fast idle"
setting.

ing procedure setting the choke control

CAUTION!
The recoil starter can be damaged
by abuse!
 Never pull the starter completely
to the end of the starter cord.
Fully extending the starter cord
can damage the starter spring,
cord and/or starter assembly.
