STARTER ROPE
A starter rope that breaks next to the pulley
can be repaired.
Replace the starter rope if the rope breaks more
than 2-3 inches away from the pulley as the rope
will be too short to repair properly.
NOTE; A recoil spring lies beneath the pulley and is
under tension. If the recoil spring is disturbed,
considerable time and effort wili be required to
reinstall.
For this reason, you may want to let a
qualified service dealer handle this repair. If you do
try to repair the starter rope and the recoil spring pops
out, take the saw to your dealer
A WARNING
Always wear eye protection when servicing the
starter rope. The recoil spring beneath the pulley
is under tension. If the spring pops out, serious
injury can result.
