Starting And Stopping; Before Starting; Starting - Husqvarna K960 Ring Operator's Manual

Before starting

WARNING! Note the following before
!

starting:

Do not start the power cutter without the belt
guard fitted. Otherwise the clutch could
come loose and cause personal injuries.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
Ensure that you and the machine have a
good working stance and that the cutting
blade can rotate freely.
Keep people and animals well away from the
working area.
Decompression valve: Press the valve to reduce the
compression in the cylinder. The decompression valve should
always be used when starting. The valve automatically
returns to its initial position when the machine starts.
Stop switch: Make sure that the stop switch (STOP) is in the
left position.
Start throttle position - cold engine: Start throttle position
and choke is obtained by pulling out the choke completely.
Start throttle position - warm engine: The correct choke/
start throttle setting is obtained by pulling the choke control to
the choke position and then pushing it in again. This only
engages the start throttle setting without any choke.
