SOLUTION
Check the spark plug. Take off the spark plug, place
the spark plug cap on the spark plug and put the
spark plug on the metal cylinder. Pull the starter and
check if there are sparks on the top of the spark plug.
It there are no sparks repeat the procedure with a
new spark plug.
Press the fuel primer. If the problem persists,
contact your local dealer.
Remove the spark plug and turn the hedge trimmer
so that the spark plug hole faces the ground. Switch
the choke to "RUN" and pull the starter 10-15 times.
Clean the spark plug and fit it again. You might also
replace the spark plug.
Pull the starter 3 times with the choke switched to
"RUN". If the engine does not start, move the choke
to "Choke" and normal starting procedure is used. If
the engine still does not start, repeat the procedure
with a new spark plug.
