m CAUTION
Do not let the starter cord snap back after pulling it
out. This can cause damage.
m CAUTION
As the air flap (fig. 18 / arrow direction 1) is closed,
the chain starts to move and rotates AT HIGH
SPEED as soon as the motor has started.
8. Allow the motor to warm up for 10 seconds. Press
the safety lock and the throttle for a short time so
that the motor goes into 'idle' (fig. 20).
m CAUTION
Always pull the starter cord slowly (until you feel re-
sistance) before pulling it out quickly to start the motor.
Do not let the starter cord snap back on its own af-
ter pulling it.
If the motor does not start after several attempts, see
the 'Troubleshooting' section.
Always pull the starter cord out in a straight line. If
it is pulled out at an angle, friction will occur in the
vicinity of the lug.
This friction causes the starter cord to fray, resulting
in it wearing out quicker. Always hold the starter cord
tight when the pull cord is winding up.
Starting the warm motor
(The device was at idle for less than 15-20 min-
utes)
Fill the fuel tank with the correct mixture of petrol
and oil (fig. 21) and also fill the chain oil (fig. 21). See
the "Fuel and oil" section. Never start or operate the
chainsaw if the chain and the chain brake lever or the
front hand guard have not been properly installed.
In addition, always start with the chain brake active.
Proceed as follows for this:
• Grasp the rear grip with the right hand.
• Hold the front grip firmly with the left hand (fig. 1 /
item 6) (not the chain brake lever) (fig. 1 / item 5).
• Pull the chain brake (fig. 10 / arrow direction 1).
Ensure that the chain brake is released before start-
ing the motor (fig. 11).
1. Ensure that the stop switch is set to 'I' (ON) (fig.
19 / right).
2. Place the saw on a solid and level surface. Hold
the saw tight as shown (fig. 22). Pay attention to
the moving chain!
3. Pull the starter cord quickly 6 times (fig. 22 / item
7 and fig. 27). The motor should start. If the motor
does not start after pulling the cord 6 times, repeat
steps 1-6 of the process to start the cold motor.
Check the following each time before use:
• There are no leaks in the fuel system.
SWITCHING THE MOTOR OFF
Stopping the motor in an emergency:
In order to stop the motor in an emergency, activate the
chain brake lever or the front hand protector (fig. 26 /
item 5). This stops the chain immediately. Then set the
ON/OFF switch (fig. 19 / left) to the '0' (Stop) position.
Normal procedure:
Release the throttle (fig. 20 / item 19) and wait until
the motor has reached its idle speed. Then set the
stop switch (fig. 19 / left) to the '0' (Stop) position.
Carry out the work steps with the motor switched off
before using the device.
Removing the chain or the bar for replacement,
cleaning or maintenance purposes
1. Ensure that the chain brake lever has been pulled
back into the RELEASED position (fig. 11).
2. Pull the lever on the bar fastening wheel (fig. 9 /
item 18) out and unscrew it completely in AN AN-
TICLOCKWISE DIRECTION (fig. 9).
Then remove the entire side cover.
Perform all steps required to replace the parts, as
well as those for maintenance or cleaning.
(These are described in different sections of this op-
erating manual.)
Re-installing the bar and chain on the motor unit
m CAUTION
Do not start the motor until the saw is assembled
completely.
m CAUTION
Always wear high strength gloves when handling the chain.
Installing the bar
In order to ensure that the bar and chain are supplied
with oil, ONLY USE THE ORIGINAL BAR.
The oiling hole (fig. 4 / item C) must be kept free of
contamination and deposits.
1. Ensure that the chain brake lever has been pulled
back into the RELEASED position (fig. 11).
2. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (fig. 9 / item 3)
ANTICLOCKWISE until the PIN (fig. 7) (the pin
that is protruding) is at the end of its pushing path
towards the clutch and gear wheel (fig. 9).
3. Place the slotted end of the bar over the bar bolt
(fig. 3 / item B).
