To turn on a demo saw, you primarily need to manage its start/stop switch and choke lever based on whether the engine is cold or warm.
Starting a demo saw involves a few key steps to ensure the engine ignites properly and safely. The process varies slightly depending on the engine's temperature.
Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Your Demo Saw
Follow these instructions carefully to turn on your demo saw:
- Prepare the Switch: Begin by moving the start/stop switch to the start position. This is the initial step for all starting scenarios.
- For a Cold Engine Start:
- If you are starting the motor from cold, you need to push the chalk lever upwards. This helps enrich the fuel-air mixture, making it easier for a cold engine to ignite.
- For a Warm Engine Start:
- If the motor is already warm, push the choke lever upwards and then pull it back. This indicates that the engine needs less enrichment than when cold, but still might require a slight adjustment to the mixture.
Here's a quick reference table for clarity:
| Engine Condition | Start/Stop Switch | Lever Action |
|---|---|---|
| Cold | Start Position | Push the chalk lever upwards |
| Warm | Start Position | Push the choke lever upwards, then pull it back |
Important Considerations for Operation
- Always consult your demo saw's specific user manual for detailed safety instructions and maintenance tips.
- Ensure the saw is on a stable, level surface before attempting to start it.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including eye protection, hearing protection, and sturdy gloves.
