STARTING AND STOPPING
Before starting
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.
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Put your right foot on
the lower section of the rear handle pressing the machine
against the ground. Never wrap the starter cord around
your hand
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.
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.
With a cold engine: Push in the choke control as soon as the
engine fires and make repeated starting attempts.
When the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle to
automatically disengage fast idle.
Stopping
Stop the engine by moving the stop switch (STOP) to the
right.
!
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.
!
WARNING! The cutting blade rotates when
the engine is started. Make sure it can rotate
freely.
