Starting And Stopping - Husqvarna T540 XP Manuel D'utilisation

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.
If you need to start the chain saw in the
tree, see instructions under the heading
Starting the saw in the tree, under the
section Working techniques.
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.
Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely
filled.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position.
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand and push the
chain saw to the ground. Grip the starter handle with your
right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel
a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) and then pull
firmly and rapidly. Never wrap the starter cord around
your hand
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 down 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. When
the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle; the throttle
start lock will automatically disengage.
IMPORTANT! As the chain brake is still activated the
engine must return to idling speed as soon as possible
by disengaging the throttle latch in order to avoid
unnecessery wear on the clutch assembly.
Note! Pull the front hand guard towards the front handle.
The chain brake is now disengaged. Your saw is ready for
use.
