1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel
mixture. (Fig. 7).
2. Fill the oil tank (B) with correct chain and
bar oil (Fig. 7).
3. Be certain the chain brake is disengaged
(C) before starting unit (Fig. 7).
1. Make sure the
on/off switch is in
the “I” position.
2. Depress the primer
bulb 10 times.
3. Pull the starter
rope
rapidly
4
times. The engine
should start.
4. If the engine still can not start, follow the
step as “To start engine” in this user
manual.
1. Release trigger and allow engine to
return to idle speed.
2. Press STOP switch down to stop engine.
(Figure 9)
NOTE:
For emergency stopping, simply
activate CHAIN BRAKE and move
STOP switch down.
1. Place saw on a clear, firm, flat surface.
2. Start engine.
3. Grasp the rear handle (A) with your right
hand (Fig. 10).
4. With your left hand, hold the front
handle (B) [not CHAIN BRAKElever (C)]
firmly (Fig. 10).
5. Squeeze the throttle trigger to 1/3 throttle,
then immediately activate the CHAIN
BRAKE lever (C) (Fig. 10).
6. Chain should stop abruptly. When it does,
immediately release the throttle trigger.
7.
If chain brake functions properly, turn the
engine off and return the chain brake to
the DISENGAGED position.
1. Move ON/OFF switch to ON “I”
position. (Fig. 8A)
2. Pull choke lever/throttle (A) advance. This

Easy Start significant reduce the
effort required to start the engine. You must
pull the starter rope out far enough to hear
the engine attempt to start. There is no need
to pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh
resistance when pulling. Be aware that this
starting method is vastly different from (and
much easier than) what you may be used to.

6. Pull starter rope quickly until engine
starts.
7. Allow the engine to run for about 10
