which could be contacted by the cutting attachment when starting.

safe trimming techniques.
1. Stop Switch
Move stop switch button (A) forward away from the STOP position.
2. Choke
Move choke lever (B) to Cold Start Position ( ).
3. Primer
Pump primer bulb (C) until fuel is visible and flows freely in the clear
fuel tank return line. Pump bulb an additional 4 or 5 times.
NOTE
Energy is stored in the starter spring each time the handle/rope is
pulled. Generally two to six pulls, using light pulling forces, will
store enough energy to engage the starter and spin the engine. Do
not pull the rope out to end stop.
4. Recoil Starter
Lay the unit on a flat, clear area. Firmly grasp right hand grip and
throttle trigger lockout with left hand, and fully depress throttle
trigger to wide open position. Gently pull starter handle/rope (D)
until engine fires or 2 to 3 engine engagements.
5. Choke
After engine fires or 2 to 3 engine engagements, move choke lever
(B) to Run position ( ). Hold throttle trigger and throttle trigger
lockout fully depressed, and pull starter handle/rope until engine
starts and runs. Release throttle trigger and allow unit to warm up at
idle for several minutes.
NOTE
If engine does not start with choke in “Run” position after 5 engine
engagements, repeat instructions.
6. After engine warm up, gradually depress throttle trigger to increase
engine RPM to operating speed.
