WARNING! Before starting observe the
following:

• Do not start the power cut without the cutting arm or

cutting head fitted. Otherwise the clutch can come
loose and cause personal injury.

• Always move the power cutter from the filling area

before starting.

• Ensure that you and the machine stand firmly and that

the cutting blades rotates freely.

• Make sure no unauthorised persons are within the

working area.

START AND STOP

Start

Take hold of the front handle
using your left hand. Place
your right foot on the lower
section of the rear handle and
press the power cutter against
the ground.

Grip the starter with your right
hand, and slowly pull the
starter cord out until you feel
some resistance (the pawls
grip) now pull quickly and
powerfully.

NOTE! Do not pull out the
starter cord completely and do
not release the starter from
the fully extended position.
This can damage the power
cutter.

When the engine starts,
quickly apply full throttle and
the starter throttle catch will
automatically disengage.

WARNING! The cutting blade can rotate when
the engine starts. Make sure it can rotate
freely.

!

Stop

The engine is stopped by
switching off the ignition.
(Slide the stop switch to the
right.)

Starting a cold engine

IGNITION:
Slide the stop switch to the
left.

CHOKE:
Pull out the choke.

DECOMPRESSION VALVE
Press in the value to reduce
the pressure in the cylinder,
this makes starting the power
cutter easier. The
decompression valve should
always be used when starting.
When the machine has
started the value automatically
returns to its original position.

FAST IDLE:
Combined choke/fast idle is
received when the choke is
moved to choke position.

Starting a warm
engine

Use the same procedure as
for starting cold engine but
without choke. Fast idle is
recived by first set the choke
control in choke position, and
then back again.
