ON/STOP SWITCH
The ON/STOP switch is used to stop the
engine. To stop the engine, hold the
switch in the STOP position.
PRIMER BULB
The primer bulb removes air from tile
fuel lines and fills them with fuel. This
allows you to start the engine with fewer
pulls on the starter rope. Activate the
primer bulb by pressing it and allowing it
to return to its original form.
THROTTLE LOCK
The throttle lock is used to hold the throttle
in the run and starting positions. To acti-
vate throttle lock, squeeze and hold
throttle trigger, press and hold throttle lock,
then release throttle trigger.
THROTTLE TRIGGER
The throttle trigger controls engine
speed. Fully squeeze the trigger for full
speed operation.
CHOKE
The choke helps to supply fuel to the
carburetor during starting. This allows
you to start a cold engine. Activate the
choke by moving the choke lever to the
FULL CHOKE or HALF CHOKE position.
After the engine has started, move the
choke lever to the CHOKE OFF position.
OPERATING TIPS
• To reduce the risk of hearing loss
associated with sound level(s), hearing
protection is required.
• To reduce the risk of injury associated
with contacting rotating parts, stop the
engine before installing or removing
attachments. Do not operate without
guard(s) in place.
• Operate power equipment only at rea-
sonable hours-not early in the morn-
ing or late at night when people might
be disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances. Usual recommen-
dations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday though Saturday.
• To reduce noise levels, limit the num-
ber of pieces of equipment used at any
one time.
• To reduce noise levels, operate power
blowers at the lowest possible throttle
speed to do the job.
