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.
Starting a cold engine
Ignition: Slide the ignition switch to the left.
Choke: Pull the choke control fully out.
Start throttle lock: Press in the throttle trigger lock, throttle
control and then the start throttle lock (A). Release the throttle
control and it is locked in the half throttle position. The lock
releases when the throttle control is pressed in fully.
