STARTING AND STOPPING
Before starting
• Perform daily maintenance. See instructions in the section
"Maintenance".
Starting
• Decompression valve: Press in the valve to reduce the
pressure in the cylinder, this is to assist starting the power
cutter. 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.
• Air purge: Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly until
fuel fills the diaphragm (at least 6 times). The diaphragm
need not be completely filled.
Start the engine
• 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.
• With a cold engine: The machine stops when the engine
fires becase the chokel control is pulled out.
Press the choke control and the decompression valve.
Pull the starter handle until the engine starts.
