Starting
Standard versions
N
with the right hand, pull the starter
grip slowly until you feel it engage –
and then give it a brisk strong pull –
simultaneously press down on the
handlebar – do not pull the starter
rope out all the way – risk of
breakage! Do not let the starter grip
snap back – guide it vertically back
into the housing so that the starter
rope can rewind properly
With a new engine or after a long period
of disuse, with machines without an
additional manual fuel pump, it may be
necessary to pull the starter rope several
times – to prime the fuel line.

Versions with Easy2Start
The Easy2Start stores the energy for
starting the chain saw. For this reason, a
few seconds may pass between the
pulling of the starter rope and the
starting of the engine.
For versions with Easy2Start, there are
two ways to start the machine:
N
pull the starter grip slowly and
smoothly – or – with the right hand,
pull the starter grip in several short
pulls of the starter rope, pulling the
rope out only a little bit each time
N
during starting, press down on the
handlebar – do not pull out the
starter rope all the way – risk of
breakage!
N
Do not let the starter grip snap back
– guide it vertically back into the
housing so that the starter rope can
rewind properly
