6.3 START-UP

IMPORTANT A label (Fig. 2) is placed on the
machine that summarizes the start up main steps.
The label is a quick guide and it does not
replace the procedures specified below.
Before starting the machine:
Result
The levers must
move freely and
not be forced. The
chain moves.
The levers must return
automatically and
rapidly to the neutral
position, the engine
must return to running
idle and the chain
must be stationary.
The throttle trigger
lever remains blocked.
The switch must
move easily from
one position to
another and must
return automatically
to the start position
when released.
3. The chain must stop
moving immediately.
When the chain has
stopped immediately
release the throttle
trigger lever and
disengage the chain
brake (par. 5.7).
1. Remove the protection bar cover
(Fig. 1.H) and the spiked bumper
guard (Fig. 1.J) (if used);
2. Make sure the bar and the chain are not
touching the ground or any other object.
3. Make sure the chain brake
is engaged (par. 5.7).
IMPORTANT To avoid breaking the starter
cable, do not pull the whole length of it or
let it slide along the edge of the cable guide
hole. Release the starter hand grip gradually,
to prevent it flying back uncontrollably.
IMPORTANT Never wind the
starter cable around your hand.
Never start the chainsaw by holding
on to the starter cable and allowing it
to fall. This is an extremely dangerous
method as you lose complete control
over the machine and the chain.
NOTE The switch is always in
the start position (par. 5.1).
6.3.1 Startup from cold
A "cold" start of the engine means
starting it after at least 5 minutes from when
it was switched off or after refuelling.
1. Make sure the chain brake
is engaged (par. 5.7).
2. Engage the choke by moving the
lever to position «B» (Fig. 12.A).
3. Press the primer device control button (Fig.
13.F) 6 times to help start the carburettor.
4. Position the machine firmly on the ground;
hold the machine firmly on the ground
with your hand on the front hand grip and
your foot in the rear hand grip, to avoid
losing control during starting (Fig. 14).
If the machine is not held firmly,
the force of the engine could cause
the user to lose his balance or direct
the bar towards him or an obstacle.
5. Pull the starter hand grip slowly for 10 - 15
cm until you feel some resistance, then pull
it 4 times until you hear the engine start to
tick over. Engine will not start at this stage.
IMPORTANT Do not pull the starter
hand grip more than 4 times.
6. Disengage the choke (Fig. 12.A),
moving the lever to position «A».
