Depends on the saw...

On a Stihl chainsaw there is a four position switch. Top position is OFF, second position is RUN/IDLE, third position is HALF CHOKE and the last position is FULL CHOKE. Hold the throttle in with your finger and move the switch down with your thumb. DO NOT try to move the switch down into choke WITHOUT holding in the throttle.

On a Husqvarna chainsaw there is normally a switch that you pull out towards you. However, there have been models made that you have to push a switch downwards.
