Starting The Engine - Efco MTT 3600 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

4. Keep the engine at full throttle the entire time
you are cutting.
5. Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light
downward pressure. If you force the cut,
damage to the bar, chain, or engine can result.
6. Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut
is completed, allowing the engine to idle. If
you run the saw at full throttle without a
cutting load, unnecessary wear or damage
can occur to the chain, bar, and engine.
7. Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of
the cut.
Work Area Precautions
WARNING: Cut only wood or materials
made from wood. Do not cut metal,
plastics, masonry, or non-wood building
materials.
· Never allow children to operate your saw. Only
allow others to use this chainsaw who have
read this Operator's Manual or received
adequate instructions for the safe and proper
use of this chain saw.
· Keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children,
and animals a safe distance from the cutting
area. During felling operations, the safe
distance should be a least twice the height of
the largest trees in the felling area. During
bucking operations, keep a minimum distance
of 35 feet (10 m) between workers.
· Always cut with both feet on solid ground to
prevent being pulled off balance.
· Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held
higher is difficult to control against kickback
forces.
· Do not fell trees near electrical wires or
b u i l d i n g s . L e a v e t h i s o p e r a t i o n f o r
professionals.
· Cut only when visibility and light are adequate
for you to see clearly.
· Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely
dangerous. Leave this operation for
professionals.
· Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object. Inspect the saw and repair parts as
necessary.
· Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and increase the possibility of kickback.
· Stop the engine before setting the saw down.
· Be particularly cautious and alert while
wearing hearing protection because such
equipment may restrict your ability to hear
sounds indicating danger (calls, signals,
warnings, etc).
· Be extremely cautious when working on slopes
or uneven ground.
· When a chain saw is being used, a fire
extinguisher should be available.
·
WARNING – Never start the saw engine
without the bar, chain and clutch cover
(chain brake) assembled - or else the clutch can
come loose and cause personal injuries.

immediate vicinity which could come in
contact with the bar and chain. Hold the front
handle firmly with the left hand and put your
right foot onto the base of the rear handle, see
Fig. 14.

· Pull the choke lever (D) to the fully extended
position ( CLOSE ), as shown in Fig. 13.
· Pull the starter rope until the first firing of the
engine is heard (no more than five (5) pulls). A
new unit may require additional pulls.
· Push the choke lever (E) completely in the
OPEN position, as shown in Fig. 13.
· Pull the starter rope until the engine starts.
· Immediately after the engine has started,
depress the throttle trigger lockout (3, Fig. 2),
quickly squeeze and release the throttle trigger
(2). Place chain brake lever / hand guard into
the run position as shown in Fig. 3. Refer to
Safety-Chain Brake and Operation-Chain Brake
