[. . . ] Some amount of fuel should be visible in the primer bulb (Fig. If you can’t see fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as many times as it takes before you can see fuel in it. Pull the rope with a controlled and steady motion 4 times. Then move the blue lever (D) all the way in (Fig. NOTE: The unit uses Spring Assist Starting™, which significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to. Hold saw firmly and pull rope until saw starts. Depress and release trigger (F) for idle (Fig. NOTE: In some cases due to operating conditions (altitude, temperature, etc)your chain saw may need a slight adjustment to the idle speed. Use wooden or plastic wedges (G) to prevent binding the bar or chain (H) in the cut. When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig. 8 Do not cut down a tree during high or changing winds or if there is a danger to property. Do not cut down a tree if there is a danger of striking utility wires; notify the utility company before making any cuts. WARNING: As the felling cut gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. When tree begins to fall, remove saw from cut, stop engine, put chain saw down, and leave area along retreat path (Fig. WARNING: Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations, notching (C) and making the felling cut (D). Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the side of the tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure you don t make the lower cut too deep into the trunk. The notch (C) should be deep enough to create a hinge (F) of sufficient width and strength. The notch should be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for as long as possible.
