OPERATION
• Slowly push the purge bulb 6 to 8 times (C, Fig. 47).
• Move the on/off switch (D) to the start position "I".
• Pull the choke lever (E) to the fully extended position (
Choke). The half-throttle is automatically set when choke lever
is set at Full Choke.
• Depress the compression relief valve (F, Fig. 48). Pull the starter
rope until the first firing of the engine is heard (no more than five
(5) pulls). A new unit may require additional pulls.
NOTE: Compression relief valve automatically resets after
the first firing.
47
• Push the choke lever (E) completely in to the engine Run
position, as shown in Fig. 47.
• Depress the compression relief valve (F) and pull the starter
rope until the engine starts.
• Immediately after the engine has started, depress the throttle
trigger lockout (H, Fig. 49), quickly squeeze and release the
throttle trigger (I). This releases the throttle trigger from the
half-throttle position and lets the engine idle. Place chain
brake lever / hand guard into the run position as shown in
Fig. 46. Refer to Safety-Chain Brake and Operation-Chain
Brake Sections for additional information.
• When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full extent of the
48
rope as this can cause the rope to break. Do not let starter rope
snap back. Hold the handle and let the rope rewind slowly.
WARNING: Do not cut material with the choke/
fast idle lever at the FULL CHOKE position. Do not
operate your chainsaw with the starting throttle
lock engaged. Cutting with the starting throttle lock
engaged does not permit the operator proper control
of the saw or chain speed.
NOTE - STARTING WARM ENGINE:
Follow above starting instructions, but do not use the Full
Choke position for start up again. To set fast idle for warm
49
engine starting, pull choke out completely and push back in
to the original Run Position.
WARNING: Weather conditions and altitude may
affect carburetion. Do not allow bystanders close to
the chainsaw while adjusting the carburetor.
WARNING: Never attempt to start the chainsaw
when the guide bar is in a cut or kerf.
WARNING: Never start the saw engine without the
49A
bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) assembled
- or else the clutch can come loose and cause
personal injuries.
Ice Device System
In the event of temperatures below 0°C, move the cursor
(A, Fig. 49A) to the winter position. The winter symbol (Fig. 49 A)
must be indicated by the arrow stamped on the slide. In this way
heated air from the cylinder is also taken in, preventing thus the
formation of ice inside the carburettor.
When the temperature rises above +10°C, move the cursor
(A, Fig. 49 B) to the summer position. Failure to reset this
49B
parameter could impair motor performance due to overheating.
