FUEL HANDLING / STARTING AND STOPPING
3
If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
WARNING! Never use a machine with
!
visible damage to the spark plug guard
and ignition cable. A risk of sparking
arises, which can cause a fire.
Transport and storage
•
Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is
no risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames from electrical equipment,
electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.
•
Always store fuel in an approved container designed
for that purpose.
•
For longer periods of storage or for transport of the
chain saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be
emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel
and chain oil at your local gas station.
•
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
•
The bar guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported
or in storage, in order to prevent accident contact
with the sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can
cause serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump
into with an exposed chain.
Long-term storage
Empty the fuel/oil tanks in a well ventilated area. Store
the fuel in approved cans in a safe place. Fit the bar
guard. Clean the machine. See instructions under the
heading Maintenance schedule.
Starting and stopping
WARNING! Note the following before
!
starting:
The chain brake must be engaged when
the chain saw is started to reduce the
chance of contact with the moving
chain during starting.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar,
chain and all covers are fitted correctly.
Otherwise the clutch can come loose
and cause personal injuries.
Place the machine on firm ground. Make
sure you have a secure footing and that
the chain cannot touch anything.
Keep people and animals well away
from the working area.
Cold engine
Starting: The chain brake should be activated when
starting the chain saw. Activate the chain brake by
pushing the front hand guard forwards. (20)
Choke: Pull the blue choke/fast idle lever out to the full
extent (to the FULL CHOKE position). When the choke/
fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent, the correct
throttle setting is set automatically. (21)
5451867-26 Rev.3 2008-12-18
Start throttle: The correct choke/start throttle setting is
obtained by moving the control to the choke position. (22)
Air purge: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins
to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled. (23)
Warm engine
Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position.
Set the throttle to the start position by pulling out the blue
choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in
again. (24)
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain
saw on the ground by placing your right foot through the
rear handle. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and
pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as
the starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly.
Never wrap the starter cord around your hand (25)
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires
which can be heard through a "puff" sound. Keep on
pulling the cord powerfully until the engine starts. (26)
As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the
engine must be set to idling as soon as possible, this is
achieved by quickly pressing the throttle trigger once.
This prevents unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch
drum and brake band.
Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard back towards the front handle. The chain saw
is now ready for use. There is a simplified start reminder
with illustrations to describe each step on the rear edge of
the saw (A). (27)
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
!
engine's exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
•
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached
to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and
cause serious injury. (28)
•
The chain brake should be activated when starting.
Se instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do
not drop start. This method is very dangerous
because you may lose control of the saw. (29)
•
Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.
•
Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no risk of people or animals coming into contact
with the cutting equipment.
•
Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand
should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the
front handle. All people, whether right or left handed,
should use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles. (30)
Stopping
Stop the engine by pressing down the stop button. (31)
