14.2 Starting the Engine

WARNING
Never operate your chain saw if it is damaged, improperly
adjusted or maintained, not completely and securely
assembled or not functioning properly, @ 5.4. To reduce
the risk of personal injury, always wear proper clothing and
protective apparel, including proper eye protection, when
operating your chain saw, @ 5.3.
Before starting the engine:
► Make sure you have a secure and firm footing.
► Stand upright.
► Always hold and operate the chain saw with your right
hand firmly on the rear or control handle and your left hand
firmly on the front handle. Always hold the chain saw with
two hands in this manner, whether you are right-handed or
left-handed.
To start the engine:
► Engage the chain brake, @ 12.1.
► Remove the chain scabbard.
► Depress the decompression valve.
► Press the manual fuel pump bulb at least eight times.
► Hold the chain saw firmly and pull the starter grip slowly
with your right hand until you feel it engage.

► Pull the starter grip quickly and allow the starter rope to
rewind several times until the engine runs.
► Do not pull out the starter rope to full length and do not let
the starter grip snap back. Guide it slowly back into the
housing so that the starter rope can rewind properly.
► Disengage the chain brake, @ 12.2.
Your chain saw is ready for operation.
► If the saw chain rotates when the engine is idling, shut off
the engine, engage the chain brake and have the chain
saw inspected by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer
before further use.
NOTICE
Accelerating the engine while the chain brake is engaged or
the chain is otherwise blocked (i.e., not able to turn)
increases the load and will cause the clutch to slip
continuously. This may occur if the throttle is depressed for
more than a few seconds when the chain is pinched in the
cut or the chain brake is engaged. To reduce the risk of
overheating and damage to important components (e. g.
clutch, polymer housing components), always disengage the
chain brake before accelerating engine and before starting
cutting work. The only exception to this rule is when you
check operation of the chain brake, @ 16.1.

WARNING
The saw chain will continue to rotate for a short while after
the throttle trigger is released. To avoid serious or fatal
injury, avoid contact with the moving chain. To reduce the
risk of personal injury from unintended activation or
unauthorized use, shut off the engine, ensure the chain has
stopped and engage the chain brake before walking with the
saw or setting it down.
