Starting The Engine - Ryobi RY3714 Manuel D'utilisation

NOTE: Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise con-
taminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the
oil pump, bar, or chain.
 Carefully pour the bar and chain lubricant into
the oil tank.
 Fill the oil tank every time you fuel the engine.
OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE
See Figures 4 - 5.
Check the operating condition of the chain brake
prior to each use.
 Using the back of your left hand, engage the
chain brake by pushing the chain brake lever/
hand guard toward the bar while the chain is
rotating rapidly.
 Reset the chain brake back into the RUN posi-
tion by grasping the top of the chain brake lever/
hand guard and pulling toward the front handle
until you hear a click.
WARNING:
If the chain brake does not stop the chain imme-
diately, or if the chain brake will not stay in the
run position without assistance, take the saw to
a qualified service center for repair prior to use.

STARTING THE ENGINE

See Figures 6 - 10.
The starting method differs depending on whether
the engine is cold or warm.
WARNING:
Keep your body to the left of the chain line.
Never straddle the saw or chain, or lean over
past the chain line.
 Place the chain saw on level ground and ensure
that no objects or obstructions are in the imme-
diate vicinity that could come in contact with the
bar and chain. To prevent rapid dulling of the
chain, do not allow the bar and chain to contact
dirt on the ground.
 Hold the front handle firmly with your left hand
and put your right foot onto the base of the rear
handle.
