Starting and stopping

WARNING! Note the following before
!

starting:

The chain brake must be engaged when
the chainsaw is started to reduce the
chance of contact with the moving chain
during starting.
Never start a chainsaw 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 chainsaw 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.
Long term inhalation of the engine's
exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and dust
from sawdust can represent a health risk.
Starting
The chain brake should be activated when starting the
chainsaw. Activate the chain brake by pushing the front
