:
Place your saw on the ground.  
Make  sure you have a firm footing – 
check that chain is not touching any 
object or the ground.
Bystanders must be well clear of the 
general work area of the saw.
:
Hold the saw firmly on the ground 
with your left hand on the front 
handle – your thumb should be 
under the handle.
:
Put your right foot into the rear 
handle and press down.
Alternative method of starting:
:
Hold the rear handle tightly between 
your legs, just above the knees.
:
Hold the front handle firmly with 
your left hand  – your thumb should 
be under the handle.
:
Pull the starter grip slowly with your 
right 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 starter rope to its full 
length – it might otherwise break.
Do not let the starter grip snap back 
– guide it slowly and vertically into 
the housing so that the starter rope 
can rewind properly.
If engine is new, pull starter grip several 
times to prime the fuel line.
