STARTING AND STOPPING
14 – English
Check before starting
• Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are
not damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or
trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or
are cracked.
• Never use the machine without a guard nor with a
defective guard.
• All covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged
before you start the machine.
Starting and stopping
Starting
Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely
filled.
Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). 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.
Never twist the
starter cord around your hand.
Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the
engine starts, return choke control to run position and
apply full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage
from the start setting.
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.
Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
CAUTION! The stop switch automatically returns to the
start position. In order to prevent unintentional starting,
the spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug
when assembling, checking and/or performing
maintenance.
!
WARNING! The complete clutch cover and
shaft must be fitted before the machine is
started, otherwise the clutch can come
loose and cause personal injury.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area and source before
starting. Place the machine on a flat
surface. Ensure the cutting attachment
cannot come into contact with any object.
Make sure no unauthorised persons are
in the working area. Otherwise there is a
risk of serious personal injury. The safety
distance is 15 meters.
WARNING! When the engine is started
with the choke in choke position the
cutting attachment will start to rotate
immediately.
