USING YOUR SAW
A. CONTROL DEVICES
Understanding the control devices on your saw
isan important part of learning how to properly
and safely Operate the unit. Figure 18 .
1. The Ignition Switch is a toggle switch which
is moved up for the "Start" position and mov-
ed down for the "Stop" position.
2. The two*position Choke helps to start the
saw by controlling the air flow to the fuel
system.
3. The Trigger accelerates and controls the
speed of the engine and is designed to be
used with the Throttle Lock.
4. The Throttle Lock is a control feature which
prevents the Trigger from becoming accident-
ly engaged. The Throttle Lock must be press-
ed before the Trigger can be activated.
5. The Throttle Detent Button holds the Throttle
LoCk and Trigger in position while the engine
is being started. Release the Throttle Detent
Button after the engine is started by lightly
squeezing the trigger.
