Starting the Engine:
• Be sure blade is clear of item to be cut.
• Determine that the recoil starter assembly turns freely, starter rope pulls easily, and the rope retracts properly.
• Follow the instructions supplied in the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for starting engine.
• Open the throttle and allow engine to reach operating temperature. Open throttle fully, do not use the throttle as a means
to match the arbor shaft speed to the specifi ed blade speed requirements.
Be certain to use the proper blade for the machine.
Note: To ensure that the necessary power is transferred to the blade, all cutting must be done at full throttle. The gov-
ernor is factory set for correct speed - altering this setting may damage the machine. Maintain the engine
according to factory specifi cations.
Starting the Electric Motor:
REMINDER: Motor burnout due to use of improper voltage will void the warranty on the motor.
• Be sure blade is clear of the item to be cut.
• Turn on the motor.

few seconds. Motor hum may indicate a malfunction due to:
- Job site voltage may too low.
- An Internal motor problem.
- The blade may be jammed.
or
- The belts may be too tight.
