Holding the Saw
N Place your saw on the ground.
Make sure you have a firm footing –
check that the chain is not touching
any object or the ground.
N Hold the saw firmly with your right
hand on the top handle.
N Rest your right knee on the
carburetor box cover.
Cranking
N Pull the starter grip slowly with your
left 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.

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.
