5.1.3 Rewind Start
WARNING!
Fast retraction of the starter cord (called
kickback) pulls your hand and arm toward the
engine faster than you can let go of the handle.
Serious bodily harm (for example; bruises,
sprains, fractures, and broken bones) can result.
When starting the engine, pull the starter cord
slowly until you feel resistance, and then pull it
rapidly to avoid kickback.

Advance
Push and hold the lever forward to move the
push block toward the log. The push block
applies pressure to split the log.
When you release the lever, it automatically
moves to the neutral position.
Retract
Pull the lever backward to move the push
block away from the log. The valve holds
the lever in the retract position (detent) for a
hands-free retract cycle.
When the push block arrives in the retracted
position, the lever automatically returns to the
neutral position.
