STARTING A COLD ENGINE
Follow these instructions to start your chainsaw. Your
chainsaw has a starting reminder decal similar to the
one shown below:
Make sure the chain brake is locked
before starting.
Press the primer (air purge) bulb
10 times. If fuel is not seen, press
the primer (air purge) bulb 10 more
times.
Note: If the outdoor temperature
is less than 4°C (40°F), press 15
times.
Unlock, then move the blue start
lever to the top (START) position.
Using your right hand, pull the
starter rope sharply until the
machine starts, or a maximum of
6 times.
Note: If the machine does not start
after 6 pulls, repeat the procedure
for starting a cold engine.
IMPORTANT: When pulling the starter rope, do not
use the full extent of the 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.
Allow the engine to run for 30
seconds.
Before accelerating to full throttle,
pull the front hand guard towards
the front handle. The chain brake is
now unlocked.
Squeeze the throttle trigger for 10 seconds, then
release the throttle trigger to set normal idle. Your
chainsaw is now ready for use.
a WARNING: The chain must not move when the
engine runs at idle speed. If the chain moves
at idle speed refer to the MAINTENANCE
section for carburettor adjustment.
a WARNING: Avoid contact with the muffler. A
hot muffler can cause serious burns.
a WARNING: Do not attempt to throw or drop-
start the chain saw. Doing so will put the
operator at risk of serious injury due to loss of
control of the chain saw.
