Starting The Engine; Cold-Starting - Makita DPC6410 Instruction And Safety Manual

Starting the engine

This model is fitted with a semiautomatic decompression valve
(1) to make starting easier. Depressing it reduces the force
needed for compression, so little force is needed to accelerate
the engine to its starting speed.
The high pressure in the combustion chamber after the first
ignition automatically closes the decompression valve (button
pops out).
CAUTION:
Observe the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page 5 and 6!
Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and
inspection!
Move at least 3m away from the place where you fuelled
the Power Cut.
Make sure you have a good footing, and place the Power
Cut on the ground in such a way that the cutting disc is
not touching anything.
Move the protective hood (3) into the proper position for the
work you intend to do (see illustration).
Grasp the grip (2). The hood (3) can swing in both ways within
its range of motion.
Caution:
Always make sure that the straight outer edge of the impact plate
(4) and the edge of the hood are parallel (see arrows).
If this is not the case, take the tool to a service center.

Cold-starting

Move the combination switch (6) up (choke position).
Grasp handle (hand pressure actuates the grip throttle lever
lock (8)).
Push the throttle (9) in all the way and hold it.
Press the throttle lock (7) and release the throttle (9) (the throttle
lock will hold the throttle at half-throttle position).
NOTE: If the Power Cut is in a trolley, bring the control lever to
the third or fourth detent.
Depress decompression valve (5).
