STARTING
Follow these instructions to start your chainsaw.
Your chainsaw has a starting reminder decal
similar to the one shown below:
Starting a Cold Engine
Make sure the chain brake is locked
before starting.
Press the primer (air purge) bulb 10 times
until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The primer
(air purge) bulb does not need to be
completely filled.
Pull the blue choke lever to the FULL
CHOKE position. The red ON/STOP
switch will be switched automatically to
the ON position.
Using your right hand, pull the starter
rope sharply until the machine attempts
to start, or a maximum of 5 times.
NOTE: If the engine sounds as if it is trying to
start before the fifth pull, stop pulling and
immediately proceed to the next step.
NOTE: Do not attempt to cut material with the
choke/fast idle lever in the FULL CHOKE
position.
Push the blue choke lever to the HALF
CHOKE position.
NOTE: In temperatures above 90°F
(32°C), push the blue choke lever
completely in.
Pull the starter rope sharply with your
right hand until the engine starts.
Allow the engine to run for 30 seconds.
Before accelerating to full throttle, pull the
front hand guard towards the front
handle. The chain brake is now unlocked .
Your chainsaw is now ready for use.
WARNING! The chain must not move when
the engine runs at idle speed. If the chain
moves at idle speed refer to CARBURETOR
ADJUSTMENT within this manual.
WARNING! Do not attempt to throw or drop-
start the chainsaw. Doing so will put the
operator at risk of serious injury due to loss
of control of the chainsaw.

The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it
has not started after 10 pulls.
Flooded engines can be restarted by pushing the
blue choke lever in completely to the OFF CHOKE
position and then following the warm engine
starting procedure listed above. Ensure the red
ON/STOP switch is in the ON position.
Starting could require pulling the starter rope
handle many times depending on how badly the
unit is flooded. If the engine fails to start, refer to
the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call the
consumer assistance help line.
CHAIN TENSION
It is normal for a new chain to stretch during the
first 15 minutes of operation. You should check
your chain tension each time before you start the
chainsaw. See the chain tensioning instructions in
the ASSEMBLY section.
