10 Starting / Stopping the Engine
► Pull the starter grip slowly with your right hand
until you feel it engage – and then give it a
brisk strong pull and push down the front han‐
dle at the same time. Do not pull out the
starter rope to full length – it might otherwise
break. Do not let the starter grip snap back.
Guide it slowly back into the housing so that
the starter rope can rewind properly.
10.6 Starting the concrete cutter
Before starting, open the shut-off cock fully so
that water flows to the diamond abrasive chain –
never allow chain to run dry.
10.6.1 Decompression valve
► Press the button, the decompression valve will
be opened
The decompression valve closes as soon as the
engine fires. For this reason you must press in
the button before each starting attempt.
