Set the stop switch to the “-” position.  Set the throttle 

trigger to the start position (1 > 2 > 3).

The machine is equipped with a centrifugal clutch 

mechanism so the cutting attachment begins to 

rotate as soon as the engine is started.  When start-

ing the engine, place the product onto the ground in 

a flat and clear area, holding it firmly in place to 

ensure neither the cutting part nor the throttle 

comes into contact with any objects when the 

engine starts.

Avoid pulling the rope to its end or returning it by 

releasing the knob, such actions can cause starter 

failures.

Move the choke lever downward to open the choke 

and restart the engine.

before starting operation.

Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due

several attempts, open the choke and repeat pulling 

the rope, or remove the spark plug and dry it.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

IMPORTANT

Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine 

while pulling the throttle lever.

If the stop switch doesn’t stop the engine, move the 

choke lever down to the closed position.
