Starting a Stihl Chainsaw Step By StepStep 1- The chain break must be applied before starting your chainsaw. Puch the chain brake forward for this purpose.
Step 2- Always remove the scabbard before starting your saw.
Step3- If your chainsaw has a decompression valve, it must now be pressed.
Step 4- If you chainsaw has a fuel pump, it must be actuated several times. This makes it easier to start.
Step 5- Set the slide control to Choke / Cold start. Press the throttle trigger interlock and squeeze the throttle trigger, then puch the slide control fully down.
Step 6- The chainsaw needs to be placed on a level surface. The bar & chain must not touch the ground.
Step 7- Hold the chainsaw on the ground with both hands, your left on the front handle, your right on the starter rope. Put the tip of your right foot through the rear handle to stabilize the machine.
Step 8- Slowly pull the starter rope with your right hand until you encounter a resistance. Then pull the starter rope several times until the engine briefly starts.
Step 9- The engine briefly starts, but immediately stops again. Open the choke by moving the slide control to the next position.
Step 10- Pull the starter rope again until the engine starts.
Step 11- As soon as the engine has started and it is running, flip the throttle trigger with your index finger. The slide control moves into the normal idle position.
Step 12- Slowly lift the chainsaw off the ground, make sure not to hit the throttle trigger.
Step 13- Now release the chain brake by pulling the handle of the chain brake towards yourself with your left hand. Do not let go of the front handle with your left hand. When you hear a "click", the chain is free & can move on the guide bar.
Step 14- Before starting, check the chain lube. Hold the chainsaw against a light background and sqeeze the throttle fully. If a little oil appears against the background, the chain lube is alright.
Step 15- Your chainsaw is now ready to start working.
