towards "Close"
.
• With a warm engine, position choke lever (7)

8.3 Starting
Observe the safety instructions when starting.
(schematic diagram)
Lay the power tool level and without obstructions
on the ground.
During starting, never stand or kneel on the shaft
tube, otherwise the shaft or the tube might be
damaged.
Take up a safe position, securely hold the machine
and ensure that the cutter does not touch any
objects or the ground.
When the engine is cold:
With the choke lever up ( ) start the engine by
pulling the starter handle up in a straight line
several times until the engine is briefly audible
(ignition).
Then immediately move the choke lever down.
Continue to start until the engine runs evenly.
When the engine is warm:
With the choke lever down start the engine by
pulling the starter handle up in a straight line
several times until the engine runs evenly.
If the engine is running in part throttle operation:,
briefly pull the throttle back to release the half
throttle detent. Release the throttle lever again to
allow the engine to run at idle speed. Now you can
commence working.
Note: Under good conditions, the engine will
already start under idling throttle if it is at operating
temperature. (If a part throttle stop is set it will be
cancelled by operation of the throttle control even if
the engine is at standstill.)
Starting with the stop switch in run-position
If the engine will not start under idling throttle, set a
part throttle stop in the way described above.
