Working instructions
Familiarise yourself with handling the chainsaw be-
fore use.
It is mandatory to carefully check the chainsaw for
any damage before each use or after it has been
dropped. If damage is identified, it must be rectified
immediately by you or an authorised service centre.
Prior to every start-up of the chainsaw, check the fol-
lowing points:
• Correct seating of the guide rail
• Installation/running direction, as well as flawless
(sharp) saw chain
• Tension of the saw chain (check and readjust sev-
eral times if the chain is new)
• Function of the chain lubrication
• Function of the chain brake
• Function of the clutch (chain does not move when
idle)
• Leak-tightness of the fuel system
• Faultless condition and completeness of the guards
and the cutting device
• Tight fit of all screw connections
• Smooth running of all moving parts
NOTE
The chainsaw does not have a start gas lock.
10.1 Starting the engine
m ATTENTION
Move at least 3 metres away from the refuelling area
before starting the engine (Fig. 9).
Always pull the start pull cord (8) out straight. Hold
the handle of the start pull cord (8) firmly when the
pull cord (8) winds back in. Never let the start pull
cord (8) whip back in.
Release the throttle lever (5) immediately after start-
ing the engine. Ensure that the engine speed has re-
turned to idle before releasing the chain brake (push
the front hand guard (3) backwards).
Pull out the cold start lever (choke) (14) only for start-
ing.

10.1.1 Starting the motor when cold
m WARNING
Engage the chain brake before every start-up (push
the front hand guard (3) forward).
m ATTENTION
Never allow the start pull cord (8) to spin back. This
can result in damage.
1. Remove the guide rail cover (21).
2. Set the chainsaw down on a firm and level sur-
face. The saw chain (1) must not come into con-
tact with the floor.
3. Push the front hand guard (3) forwards until it
latches into place. The saw chain (1) is clamped
by the chain brake.
4. Press the fuel pump "primer" (4) 6x. (Fig. 1)
5. Switch the ON/OFF switch (15) to "ON". (Fig. 1)
6. Pull out the cold start (choke) lever (14). (Fig. 10)
7. Hold the chainsaw firmly by the front handle (12)
and pull the start pull cord (8) out slowly until you
feel the first resistance.
8. Now pull the start pull cord (8) and the engine
should start. If the engine does not start, re-
peat the process. As long as the cold start lever
(choke) (14) is pulled out, the engine will run for
only a short time and then stop.
9. As soon as the engine has stopped, actuate the
throttle interlock (7) and the throttle (5) together.
The cold start (choke) lever (14) will automatically
spring back to the "warm start" operating position.
(Fig. 10)
10. Now pull the start pull cord (8) again and the en-
gine should start.
If the engine does not start even after several at-
tempts, read the "Troubleshooting" chapter.
NOTE
With high outside temperatures, it may be necessary
to start the engine without the cold start lever (choke)
(14) even when the engine is cold!
• Release the chain brake by pulling the front hand
guard (3) backwards. (Fig. 2)
• CAUTION! The chain brake is now released. If the
throttle (5) is actuated together with the throttle in-
terlock (7), the saw chain (1) starts up.
10.1.2 Starting the motor when warm
(The device stood still for less than 15-20 min-
utes)

the front hand guard (3) forward).
