Fold the grip flush with the
top of the cap. If the grip
does not lie completely
flush with the cap and the
detent on the grip does
not fit in the
corresponding recess in the filler neck,
the cap is not properly seated and
tightened and you must repeat the
above steps.

Warning!
Unit vibrations can cause
an improperly tightened
fuel filler cap to loosen or
come off and spill
quantities of fuel.
In order to reduce the risk
of fuel spillage and fire, tighten the fuel
filler cap by hand with as much force as
possible.

Starting
!
Warning!
Your trimmer is a one-person machine.
Once started, it may fling foreign objects
for a great distance.
15m (50ft)
To reduce the risk of eye and other injury
insure that bystanders are at least
50 feet (15 m) away. Bystanders should
be encouraged to wear eye protection.
Stop the engine and cutting tool
immediately if you are approached. Start
and operate your trimmer without
assistance. For specific starting
instructions, see the appropriate section
of your manual. Place the trimmer on
firm ground or other solid surface in an
open area. Maintain a good balance and
secure footing.

!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss
of control, be absolutely sure that the
cutting tool is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the
ground, because when the engine starts
at starting-throttle, engine speed will be
fast enough for the clutch to engage and
turn the cutting tool.
!
Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, don't
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not allow the grip to snap back, but
guide the starter rope to rewind it
properly. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in injury to hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
With the engine running but at idle,
attach the trimmer to the spring hook of
your harness (see appropriate chapter
of this manual).
