STARTING AND STOPPING
English – 21
starts. When the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle to
automatically disengage fast idle.
As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the engine
must be set to idling as soon as possible, this is achieved
by quickly disengaging the throttle lock. This prevents
unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and brake
band.
Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard back towards the front handle. The chain saw
is now ready for use.
• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and
clutch cover are fitted correctly. See instructions under
the heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain
attached to the chain saw the clutch can come loose
and cause serious injury.
• The chain brake should be activated when starting. Se
instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do not
drop start. This method is very dangerous because
you may lose control of the saw.
• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.
• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with
the cutting equipment.
• Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand
should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the
front handle. All people, whether right or left handed,
should use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
Stopping
The engine is stopped by pushing the stop switch to the
stop position.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
