STARTING AND STOPPING
Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with
the cutting equipment.
Always hold the saw with both hands.The right hand
should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the
front handle. All people, whether right or left handed,
should use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles. (28)
Stopping
Stop the engine by pushing the start/stop switch down.
(29)
CAUTION!The start/stop switch automatically returns to
run position. To avoid involuntary start up, the spark plug
cap must always be removed from the spark plug when
the machine is unsupervised. Use the combi-tool
integrated in the right hand guard to unsnap the cylinder
cover. (6) (30)
DIFFICULT STARTING (or starting a flooded engine)
The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has
not started after 10 pulls.
Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel by
pushing the choke/fast idle lever in completely (to the
OFF/CHOKE position) and then following the warm
engine starting procedure. Ensure the ON/STOP switch
is in the ON position.
Starting could require pulling the starter rope handle
many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded.
If engine fails to start, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING
TABLE or call 1-800-235-5878.
