Can't restart saw when hot

Try this solution

Use hot-start procedure

⚠️NOTE: Hot restart procedures may differ from model to model. Please refer to operator's manual.

1. Activate the chain brake.
2. Engage the choke: For this situation, pull the choke to activate it, then immediately push it back down. This allows extra air into the engine to help with ignition.
3.Pull the starter cord: Use the same safe footing or hand positioning.
4.The engine should now start: Let it run for a moment, then gently squeeze the throttle to set the chainsaw to idle. This helps prevent any damage to the clutch.

TIP: If the saw does not start after a few pulls, continue pulling the starter cord or check if there is fuel in your chainsaw.
