10.1 Starting the engine
10.1.1 Normal start
▪ Fill fuel and chain oil tanks respectively, and tighten the caps (11 – 10) securely. (Fig. 12)
▪ Continuously push the primer bulb (23) until fuel comes in the bulb. (Fig. 13)
▪ Set the switch (7) to “I” position. (Fig. 14)
▪ Pull out the choke lever (17). The choke will close and the throttle lever (20) will then be
set in the starting position. (Fig. 15)
Note: When restarting immediately after stopping the engine, set the Choke
lever (17) in the first-stage position (choke open and throttle lever in the
starting position).
▪ Once the choke lever has been pulled out, it will not return to the operating position even if
you press down on it with your finger. When you wish to return the choke lever to the
operating position, pull out the throttle lever (20) instead.
▪ While holding the saw unit securely on the ground, pull the starter handle (6) vigorously.
(Fig. 16)
Warning! Do not start the engine while the chain saw hangs in one hand.
The saw chain may touch your body. This in very dangerous.
▪ When engine has ignited, first push in the choke lever (17) to the first stage position and
then pull the starter (6) again to start the engine.
▪ Allow the engine to warm up with the throttle lever pulled slightly.
The starting performance of the engine depends on the adjustment of the
engine.
Be careful not to set OPS in motion except when starting the engine. If so, it
may lead to serious injury.
Warning! Be sure to perform warming-up with the guide bar and the saw
chain mounted.
Warning! Keep clear of the saw chain as it will start rotatIng upon starting of
engine.
Warning! Before you start the engine, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything.
10.2 Checking the oil supply
Warning! Make sure to set up the bar and the chain when checking the oil
supply. If not, the rotating parts may be exposed. It is very dangerous.
After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed and see if chain oil is scattered off as
shown in the fig. 19
The chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a screwdriver in the hole on bottom of the
clutch side. Adjust according to your work conditions. (Fig. 20)
