Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position. ! WARNING!Note the following before starting: The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is started to reduce the chance of contact with the moving chain during starting. Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries. Make sure you have a secure footing and that the chain cannot touch anything. If you need to start the chain saw in the tree, see instructions under the heading Starting the saw in the tree, under the section Working techniques. Keep people and animals well away from the working area. Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but without setting the choke control in the choke position.

Grip the front handle with your left hand and push the chain saw to the ground.
