you refilled the fuel tank.
Before starting the engine:
– Place the machine firmly on the ground.
– Take off the bar cover.
– Make sure the bar is not touching the ground or
any other object.
• Cold starting
NOTE
means starting it after at least 5 minutes from when
it was switched off or after refuelling.
To start the engine (Fig. 8):
1. Check that the chain brake is engaged (with
the front hand guard pushed forward).
2. Set the switch (1) to «START».
3. Pull the knob (2) as far as possible to engage
the starter.
4. Press the primer device button (3) at least 5
times to prime the carburettor.
5. Press the decompression valve button (4 – only
for Mod. 46 and 52); the device turns off and
the button automatically returns to its original
position immediately after the engine starts.
6. Hold the machine firmly on the ground, with
your hand on the handgrip and your foot in the
rear handgrip, to avoid losing control during
starting (Fig. 9).

user to lose his balance or direct the bar to-
wards him or an obstacle.

you feel some resistance, then tug it hard a few
times until you hear the engine turn over.

rope, do not pull the whole length of it or let it slide
along the edge of the cable guide hole. Release the
starter gradually, to avoid letting it fly back uncon-
trollably.
8. Retract the starter knob (2); this condition is in-
dicated by the protruding red pin (2a).
9. Pull the starter rope again until the engine starts
as normal.
NOTE
repeatedly with the choke on, it may flood the en-
gine and make starting difficult. If you have flooded
the engine, remove the spark plug and gently pull
the handle on the starter rope to eliminate any ex-
cess fuel; then dry the spark plug electrodes and
replace it on the engine.
10. When the engine has started, press the throt-
tle trigger to disconnect the starter and allow
the engine to idle.
IMPORTANT
high power with the chain brake engaged, as this
could cause overheating and damage to the clutch.
11. Let the engine run idle for at least 1 minute be-
fore using the machine.
• Hot starting
For hot start (immediately after turning off the en-
gine) pulling the starting cord normally suffices.
In the event of difficulty:
– Pull the starter knob (2) fully out and push it back
in so that the red pin (2a) protrudes.
– Pull the starter cord grip until the engine starts as
normal.

trigger to disconnect the starter and allow the en-
