Starting And Stopping - Husqvarna 545 Manuel D'utilisation

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.
Keep people and animals well away from
the working area.
Never wrap the starter cord around your
hand.
Starting
The chain brake should be activated when starting the
chainsaw. Activate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard forwards.
There is a simplified start reminder with illustrations
to describe each step on the rear edge of the saw.

the machine has started the valve will automatically return
to its original setting.
STARTING AND STOPPING
