Warning: Since the throttle lever is slightly open,
the cutter starts to operate when the engine is
started. Briefl y actuate the throttle lever (11). This
releases the throttle valve and the engine returns
to idle mode. (Fig. 7C)
8. If the engine does not start up after the starter
handle is pulled 8 times, repeat steps 1-7.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the Engine trouble-
shooting section.
Please note: Always pull the starter handle out
straight. If it is pulled out at an angle, friction will
occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the
cable will become frayed and will wear faster. Al-
ways hold onto the starter handle when the cable
retracts. Never allow the starter handle to snap
back when it has been pulled out.
6.3 Starting a warm engine (Fig. 7A-7D)
(The chainsaw has been idle for less than 15-20
min.)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Move the On/Off switch (10) to the „I" positi-
on. (Fig. 7A)
3. Hold the saw fi rmly and pull out the starter
handle (9) until you feel it start to resist. Then
quickly pull the starter handle (9) several
times until the engine starts. The equipment
should start after 1-2 tugs. If the saw does not
start after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 - 7 of Para-
graph 6.2. (Fig. 7D)
6.4 To stop engine
1. Release trigger and allow engine to return to
idle speed.
2. Move STOP switch down to stop engine.
Note: To stop the engine in an emergency, activa-
te the chain brake and switch the ON/OFF switch
to "Stop (0)".
6.5 General cutting instructions
Danger: Felling trees is prohibited without the
necessary training!
Felling
•
Felling is the term for cutting down a tree.
Small trees up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in
diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Larger
trees require notch cuts. Notch cuts determi-
ne the direction the tree will fall.

•
A retreat path (A) should be planned and
cleared as necessary before cuts are started.
The retreat path should extend back and dia-
gonally to the rear of the expected line of fall,
as illustrated in Fig. 8.
•
If felling a tree on sloping ground, the chain
saw operator should keep on the uphill side of
the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide
downhill after it is felled.
•
Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the not-
ching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider
the location of larger branches and natural
lean of the tree to determine the way the tree
will fall (Fig. 8).
•
Do not cut down a tree during high or chan-
ging winds or if there is a danger to property.
Consult a tree professional. Do not cut down
a tree if there is a danger of striking utility wi-
res; notify the utility company before making
any cuts.
General guidelines for felling trees (Fig. 9)
Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting opera-
tions, notching (C) and making the felling cut (D).
•
Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the
side of the tree facing the felling direction (E).
Be sure you don t make the lower cut too
deep into the trunk. The notch (C) should be
deep enough to create a hinge (F) of suffici-
ent width and strength. The notch should be
wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for as
long as possible.
•
Never walk in front of a tree that has been
notched. Make the felling cut (D) from the
other side of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches
(3-5 cm) above the edge of the notch (C).
Never saw completely through the trunk.
Always leave a hinge. The hinge guides (F)
the tree. If the trunk is completely cut through,
control over the felling direction is lost. In-
sert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well
before the tree becomes unstable and starts
to move. This will prevent the guidebar from
binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged
the falling direction. Make sure no bystanders
have entered the range of the falling tree be-
fore you push it over.
•
Before making the final cut, always recheck
the area for bystanders, animals or obstac-
les.
Felling cut
•
Use wooden or plastic wedges (A) to pre-
vent binding the bar or chain (B) in the cut.
Wedges also control felling (Fig. 10).
