STARTING AND STOPPING
WARNING! When the engine is started
!
with the choke in choke position the
cutting attachment will start to rotate
immediately.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter
handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until
you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now
quickly and powerfully pull the cord. Never twist the
starter cord around your hand.
Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the
engine starts, return choke control to run position and
apply full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage
from the start setting.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
CAUTION! Do not put any part of your body in marked
area. Contact can result in burns to the skin, or electrical
shock if the spark plug cap has been damaged. Always
use gloves. Do not use a machine with damaged spark
plug cap.
Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
CAUTION! The stop switch automatically returns to the
start position. In order to prevent unintentional starting,
the spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug
when assembling, checking and/or performing
maintenance.
