Cranking
N Pull the starter grip slowly with your
right hand until you feel it engage –
and then give it a brisk strong pull
and push down the front handle at
the same time. Do not pull out the
starter rope to full length – it might
otherwise break. Do not let the
starter grip snap back. Guide it
slowly back into the housing so that
the starter rope can rewind properly.
Machines without additional manual fuel
pump: If the engine is new or after a long
out-of-service period, it may be
necessary to pull the starter rope several
times to prime the fuel system.
Starting the Saw
WARNING
Bystanders must be well clear of the
general work area of the saw.

Versions with manual fuel pump
N Press the manual fuel pump bulb at
least five times – even if the bulb is
already filled with fuel.
Versions with decompression valve
N Press in the button to open the
decompression valve.
The decompression valve closes as
soon as the engine fires.
N For this reason you must press in
the button before each starting
attempt.
