Start the Machine
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.
