NOTE: Allow the saw to run in this position 15-30 sec-

onds, depending upon the temperature.

Squeeze and release the throttle trigger to return

the engine to idle after a total run time of at least 30

seconds.

CAUTION:

Failure to release partial throttle when chain brake lever

is in the brake position will result in serious damage to

the unit. Never squeeze and hold the throttle trigger while

the chain brake is in the brake position.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

See Figures 12 - 14.

Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return to

idle. To stop the engine, move the ignition switch to the

STOP ( ) position. Do not put the chain saw on the ground

when the chain is still moving. For additional safety, set the

chain brake when the saw is not in use.

In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the saw,

pull the choke lever out to the fully extended position (FULL

CHOKE / ) and engage chain brake to stop the engine.

If the ignition switch will not stop the saw when set to the

STOP position, have the ignition switch repaired before

using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe conditions or

serious injury.

NOTE: When you are finished using the saw, always relieve

tank pressure by loosening, then retightening, the chain oil

and fuel mix caps. Allow the engine to cool before storing.
