Starting procedure
Start your saw without assistance of a second person.
Keep other people clear of the general work area of the
saw.
Place the chain saw on firm ground or other solid surface
in
an open area. Have a good balance and secure footing.
Be absolutely sure that guide bar and chain are clear of
you and all other obstruction and objects, including the
ground. When engine starts (in start position), engine
speed will be fast enough for the clutch
to
engage sprocket
and turn the chain.
