towards the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones,
fractures, bruises or sprains could result. Unintentional
startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or
laceration.
When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
