Before adjusting the idling speed, the brushcutter should be
run for 3 to 5 minutes until it is warm.
Turning the idle jet screw (S, C/6) inwards (in a clockwise
direction) will increase the speed of the engine, while turning
it outwards (in a counter-clockwise direction) will decrease the
engine speed.
The cutting tool must not turn when the engine is idling! If the
cutting tool continues to run when the engine is running at idling
speed, consult a service centre.

above.

then pull the starter handle out fully with a quick and forceful
movement.
Do not pull out the whole starter cable to its full extent and
do not let the starter handle jump back, but let it slowly
automatically rewind itself.

Push the choke lever (B/5) back in again and pull the
starter cable again until the engine starts.
After the engine has started, press the throttle (A/3) all the
way in and release immediately. This will disengage the
