14Starting the engineDChecking the chain lubricationCChecking the chain brakeDo not work with the chain saw without fi rst checking thechain brake!- Start the engine as described (make sure you have a goodfooting, and place the chain saw on the ground in such away that the guide bar is free of contact).- Grasp the tubular handle firmly with one hand and hold thegrip with the other.- With the engine running at moderate speed, press the handguard (C/6) in the direction of the arrow with the back of yourhand until the chain brake engages. The chain should stopimmediately.- Immediately release the throttle and release the chainbrake.IMPORTANT: If the chain does not stop immediately whenyou test the chain brake, do NOT use the chain saw. Takethe chain saw to a MAKITA service center.Never work with the chain saw when a sufficient chain lubrica-tion is not guaranteed. Otherwise the service life of the sawingdevice will be reduced. Before starting work check the oil levelin the tank and the oil feeding.Check the oil feed quantity as described below:- Start the chain saw.- Hold the running chain saw approx. 15 cm above a trunk orthe ground (use an appropriate base).If the lubrication is sufficient, you will see a light oil trace becau-se oil will be centrifuged from the sawing device. Pay attentionto the direction the wind is blowing and avoid unnecessaryexposure to the oil spray!6A B542613- Move at least 3m away from the place where you fuelledthe saw.- Ensure to have a safe footing and put the chain saw on thefloor such that the sawing device is con in contact with anyobject.- Actuating the chain brake (blocking).- Hold the tubular handle tightly with one hand and press thechain saw to the ground.- Put your tip-toe in the back hand guard.Cold-starting:Pull the choke (B/1) out until it audibly clicks. This simultaneouslyactuates the half-throttle lock.Put the short-circuiting switch (B/2) in position "I" (START).Slowly pull out the starter cable (B/3) until you notice resistance(the piston is positioned before the top dead centre).Push the starting valve (B/4) (option).Now pull the starter cable with a fast and forceful movementuntil you hear the first ignition.CAUTION: Do not pull out the starter cable more than approx.50 cm, and lead it back by hand.Push the starting valve (B/4) (option).Depress the choke (B/1) and pull the starter cable again.As soon as the engine is running, grasp the rear handle (thisactuates the grip safety (B/5)) and tap the throttle (B/6). This willrelease the half-throttle lock and the engine will run in idle.CAUTION: As soon as the engine is started it must be putin idle to prevent the chain brake from being damaged.Now release the chain brake.Warm starting:As described for cold starting, except before starting pull thechoke (B/1) all the way out and back in one time, in order toactivate the half-throttle lock. If the engine doesnít start after2 or 3 pulls, repeat the entire starting procedure as describedfor cold starting.Stopping the enginePut the short-circuiting switch (B/2) in position "O" (STOP).
