STARTING THE ENGINE
See Figures 6 - 10.
The starting method differs depending on whether the engine
is cold or warm.
WARNING:
Keep your body to the left of the chain line. Never straddle
the saw or chain, or lean over past the chain line.
 Place the chain saw on level ground and ensure that no
objects or obstructions are in the immediate vicinity that
could come in contact with the bar and chain. To prevent
rapid dulling of the chain, do not allow the bar and chain
to contact dirt on the ground.
 Hold the front handle firmly with your left hand and put
your right foot onto the base of the rear handle.
To Start a Cold Engine:

Set the ignition switch to the RUN ( I ) position.
 Make sure the chain brake is in the run position by pulling
back on the lever/hand guard.
 Fully press and release the primer bulb 7 times.
 Pull choke knob all the way out to FULL CHOKE ( )
position.
 Pull the starter grip until the engine attempts to start, but
no more than 5 times.
 Push choke knob to HALF CHOKE ( ) position.
 Pull starter grip until engine runs.
NOTE: Allow the saw to run in this position 15-30
seconds, depending upon the temperature.
 Push the choke knob in to the RUN ( ) position.
