To Stop Engine; General Cutting Instructions - Bavaria BPC 2250 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Danger: If the chain (3) does not stop, shut off
the engine and take the saw to an authorized ser-
vice center for repair.
Danger: Always engage the chain brake (6) befo-
re you start the engine.
6.2 Starting a cold engine (Fig. 7A-7D)
Fill the tank with an adequate amount of gasoline/
oil mix. (refer to Paragraph 5.3)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Move the On/Off switch (10) to the „I" positi-
on. (Fig. 7A)
3. Pull out the choke lever (13) (Fig. 7B)
Note: Pulling out the choke lever (13) opens the
throttle valve slightly and locks it in that position.
This increases the idle speed, and the saw starts
faster.
4. Hold the saw fi rmly and pull out the starter
handle (9) until you feel it start to resist. Then
sharply pull the starter handle 3 times. (Fig.
7C/7D)
5. Push in the choke lever (13).
6. Hold the saw fi rmly and pull out the starter
handle (9) until you feel it start to resist. Then
quickly pull the starter handle (9) several
times until the engine starts. (Fig. 7D)
Note: Do not allow the starter handle (9) to snap
back. This may result in damage. Once the engi-
ne has started, allow the saw to warm up for 10
seconds.
Warning: Since the throttle lever is slightly open,
the cutter starts to operate when the engine is
started. Briefl y actuate the throttle lever (11). This
releases the throttle valve and the engine returns
to idle mode. (Fig. 7C)
7. If the engine does not start up after the starter
handle is pulled 8 times, repeat steps 1-6.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the Engine trouble-
shooting section.
Please note: Always pull the starter handle out
straight. If it is pulled out at an angle, friction will
occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the
cable will become frayed and will wear faster. Al-
ways hold onto the starter handle when the cable
retracts. Never allow the starter handle to snap
back when it has been pulled out.

6.3 Starting a warm engine (Fig. 7A-7D)
(The chainsaw has been idle for less than 15-20
min.)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Move the On/Off switch (10) to the „I" positi-
on. (Fig. 7A)
3. Hold the saw fi rmly and pull out the starter
handle (9) until you feel it start to resist. Then
quickly pull the starter handle (9) several
times until the engine starts. The equipment
should start after 1-2 tugs. If the saw does not
start after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 - 6 of Para-
graph 6.2. (Fig. 7D)

6.4 To stop engine

1. Release trigger and allow engine to return to
idle speed.
2. Move STOP switch down to stop engine.
Note: To stop the engine in an emergency, activa-
te the chain brake and switch the ON/OFF switch
to "Stop (0)".

6.5 General cutting instructions

Danger: Felling trees is prohibited without the
necessary training!
Felling
•
Felling is the term for cutting down a tree.
Small trees up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in
diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Larger
trees require notch cuts. Notch cuts determi-
ne the direction the tree will fall.
•
A retreat path (A) should be planned and
cleared as necessary before cuts are started.
The retreat path should extend back and dia-
gonally to the rear of the expected line of fall,
as illustrated in Fig. 8.
•
If felling a tree on sloping ground, the chain
saw operator should keep on the uphill side of
the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide
downhill after it is felled.
•
Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the not-
ching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider
the location of larger branches and natural
lean of the tree to determine the way the tree
will fall (Fig. 8).
•
Do not cut down a tree during high or chan-
ging winds or if there is a danger to property.
Consult a tree professional. Do not cut down
a tree if there is a danger of striking utility wi-
res; notify the utility company before making
any cuts.
