Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel
and chain oil tanks regularly. The fuel fi lter must be re-
placed at least once a year. Contamination in the tanks
causes malfunction.
Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking the con-
tainer before refuelling. The capacities of the chain oil
tank and fuel tank are carefully matched. You should
therefore always fi ll the chain oil tank and fuel tank at
the same time.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapour are highly
fl ammable. Take care when handling fuel and
chain oil. Be aware of the risks of fi re, explo-
sion and those associated with inhalation.
FUEL SAFETY
● Never refuel the machine while the engine is
running.
● Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when
refuelling or mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
● Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling
point before starting it.
● Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine.
Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
WARNING! Never use a machine with visible
damage to the spark plug guard and ignition
cable. A risk of sparking arises, which can
cause a fi re.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
● Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is
no risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked fl ames from electrical equipment,
electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.
● Always store fuel in an approved container designed
for that purpose.
● For longer periods of storage or for transport of the
chain saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be
emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel
and chain oil at your local petrol station.
● Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
● The bar guard must always be fi tted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported
or in storage, in order to prevent accident contact
with the sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can
cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump
into with an exposed chain.
● Secure the machine during transport.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
Empty the fuel/oil tanks in a well ventilated area. Store
the fuel in approved cans in a safe place. Fit the bar
guard. Clean the machine.
STARTING AND STOPPING
WARNING! Note the following before start-
ing: The chain brake must be engaged when
the chain saw is started to reduce the chance
of contact with the moving chain during starting.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fi tted correctly. Otherwise the clutch can
come loose and cause personal injuries. Place the ma-
chine on fi rm ground. Make sure you have a secure
footing and that the chain cannot touch anything.
Keep people and animals well away from the working
area.
COLD ENGINE
Starting: The chain brake must be engaged when the
chain saw is started. Activate the brake by moving the
front hand guard forwards.
1. Air purge: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel
begins to fi ll the bulb. The bulb need not be com-
pletely fi lled.
2. Choke: Pull the blue choke/fast idle lever out to the
full extent (to the FULL CHOKE position). When the
choke/ fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent,
the correct throttle setting is set automatically.
Start throttle: The correct choke/start throttle setting
is obtained by moving the control to the choke posi-
tion.
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain
saw on the ground by placing your right foot through
the rear handle.
3. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull
out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance
(as the starter pawls engage) then pull fi rmly and
rapidly. Never twist the starter cord around your
hand.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the
way out and do not let go of the starter handle
when the cord is fully extended. This can
damage the machine.
4. Push in the choke control to the "1/2 choke" set-
ting as soon as the engine fi res which can be heard
through a "puff" sound.
5. Keep on pulling the cord powerfully until the engine
starts. Allow engine to warm for thirty seconds, then
squeeze throttle trigger to set normal 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 pressing the throttle trigger
once. This prevents unnecessary wear to the clutch,
clutch drum and brake band.
