8 STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or awarm engine after running out offuel) NOTE: In the following steps, when the choke/ fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent, the correct throttle setting for starting is set automatically. ON/STOP SWITCH (SIDEVIEW) ON STOP 1. Move ON/STOP switch to the ON position. 2. Slowly press primer bulb 6 times. 3. Pull out choke/fast idle to the full extent (to the FULL CHOKE position). 4. Pull the starter rope sharply 5 times with your right hand. Then, proceed to the next step. NOTE: If the engine sounds as if it is trying to start before the 5th pull, stop pulling and immediately proceed to the next step. 5. Push the choke/fast idle lever in to the HALF CHOKE position. CHOKE/FAST IDLE LEVER Choke/ (SIDEVIEW) fast idle lever OFF HALF FULL 6. Pull the starter rope sharply with your right hand until the engine starts. 7. Allow the engine to run for approximately 30 seconds. Then, squeeze and release throttle trigger to allow engine to return to idle speed. STARTING A WARM ENGINE 1. Move ON/STOP switch to the ON position. 2. Slowly press the primer bulb 6 times. 3. Pull the choke/fast idle lever out to the HALF CHOKE position. 4. Pull the starter rope sharply with your right hand until the engine starts. 5. Squeeze and release throttle trigger to allow engine to return to idle speed. DIFFICULT STARTING (or starting aflooded engine) The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel by pushing the choke/fast idle lever in completely (to the OFF CHOKE position) and then following the warm engine starting procedure listed above. Ensure the ON/ STOP switch is in the ON position. Starting could require pulling the starter rope handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE. CHAIN BRAKE WARNING: If the brake band is worn too thin it may break when the chain brake is triggered. With a broken brake band, the chain brake will not stop the chain. The chain brake should be replaced by an authorized service dealer if any part is worn to less than 0,02. (0,5 mm) thick. Repairs on a chain brake should be made by an authorized service dealer. Take your unit to the place of purchase if purchased from a servicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized master service dealer. S This saw is equipped with a chain brake. The brake is designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. S The inertia activated chain brake is activated if the front hand guard is pushed forward, either manually or by centrifugal force. S If the brake is already activated, it is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back toward the front handle as far as possible. S When cutting with the saw, the chain brake must be disengaged. Disengaged Engaged Braking function control CAUTION: The chain brake must be checked several times daily. The engine must be running when performing this procedure. This is the only instance when the saw should be placed on the ground with the engine running. Place the saw on firm ground. Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand. Apply full throttle by fully depressing the throttle trigger. Activate the chain brake by turning your left wrist against the hand guard without releasing your grip around the front handle. The chain should stop immediately. Inertia activating function control WARNING: When performing the following procedure, the engine must be turned off. Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain saw approximately 14” (35 cm) above a stump or other wooden surface. Release your grip on the front handle and use the weight of the saw to let the top of the guide bar fall forward and contact the stump. When the tip of the bar hits the stump, the brake should activate. 9 CUTTINGMETHODSCUTTINGMETHODS IMPORTANT POINTS S Check chain tension before first use and after 1 minute of operation. See CHAIN TENSION in the ASSEMBLY section. S Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics, masonry, non-wood building materials, etc. S The bumper spike may be used as a pivot when making a cut. S Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign object. Inspect the saw and repair parts as necessary. S Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain and increase the possibility of kickback. S Practice cutting a few small logs using the following techniques to get the “feel” of using your saw before you begin a major sawing operation. S Squeeze the throttle trigger and allow the engine to reach full speed before cutting. S Begin cutting with the saw frame against the log. S Keep the engine at full speed the entire time you are cutting. S Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light downward pressure. S Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the engine to idle. If you run the saw at full throttle wit...
