Starting and stopping
Starting
Primer bulb:
Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely
filled.
Choke:
Set the choke control in the choke position.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter
handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until
you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now
quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Never wrap the
starter cord around your hand
Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the
engine starts, return choke control to run position and
apply full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage
from the start setting.
CAUTION!
Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.

WARNING! The complete clutch cover
and shaft must be fitted before the
machine is started, otherwise the clutch
can come loose and cause personal
injury.
Always move the machine away from the
refueling area and source before
starting. Place the machine on a flat
surface. Ensure the cutting attachment
cannot come into contact with any
object. Make sure no unauthorised
persons are in the working area,
otherwise there is a risk of serious
personal injury. The safety distance is 15
meters (50 ft.).

WARNING! When the engine is started
with the choke in choke position the
cutting attachment will start to rotate
immediately.
