Starting The Engine; Checking The Chain Brake; Important; Switching Off The Engine - Solo 694 Manual De Instrucciones

Starting the engine

A
- Move at least 3m away from the place where you fuelled
the saw.
- Ensure to have a safe footing and put the chain saw on
the floor such that the sawing device is con in contact
with any object.
- Actuating the chain brake (blocking).
- Put the short-circuiting switch in position "I" (START)
(B/1).
- Hold the tubular handle tightly with one hand and press
the chain saw to the ground.
- Put your tip-toe in the back hand guard.
Checking the safety chain brake
C
Do not work with the chain saw without first checking
the chain brake!
- Start the engine as described (make sure you have a
good footing, and place the chain saw on the ground in
such a way that the guide bar is free of contact).
- Grasp the tubular handle firmly with one hand and hold
the grip with the other.
- With the engine running at moderate speed, press the
hand guard (C/6) in the direction of the arrow with the
back of your hand until the chain brake engages. The
chain should stop immediately.
- Immediately release the throttle and release the chain
brake.
IMPORTANT: If the chain does not stop immediately
when you test the chain brake, do NOT use the chain
saw. Take the chain saw to a SOLO service center.

B
Cold start:
- Pull the choke (B/2) and press the safety switch (B/3).
- Press the throttle lever (B/4) and lock it with the stop button (B/5).
- Slowly pull out the starter cable until you notice a resi-
stance (the piston is positioned before the top dead
centre).
- Now pull out the starter cable with a fast and
forceful movement until you hear a first ignition.
Attention: Do not pull out the starter cable more than
approx. 50 cm and lead it back by hand.
- Press the choke (B/2) and again pull the starter cable.
As soon as the engine will run, touch the throttle lever
(B/4) to disengage the stop button (B/5).
Attention: As soon as the engine is started it must run
without any load to prevent the chain brake from being
damaged.
- Now release the chain brake.
Warm start:
- As described in the section above (cold start), but without
actuating the choke (B/2).

Switching off the engine

- Put the short-circuiting switch (B/1) in position "O" (STOP).

Checking the chain lubrication

6
D
Never work with the chain saw when a sufficient chain
lubrication is not guaranteed. Otherwise the service life of
the sawing device will be reduced.
Before starting work check the oil level in the tank and the
oil feeding.
Check the oil feed quantity as described below:
- Start the chain saw.
- Hold the running chain saw approx. 6" (15 cm) above a
trunk or the ground (use an appropriate base).
If the lubrication is sufficient, you will see a light oil trace
because oil will be centrifuged from the sawing device.
Pay attention to the direction the wind is blowing and
avoid unnecessary exposure to the oil spray!
