Function of stop switch and ignition
system
The ignition is switched off and the
engine stopped when the stop switch is
pressed. The stop switch returns
automatically to the Run position when it
is released: The ignition is switched on
again after the engine stops – the engine
is then ready to start.
Starting the Engine
N Press the manual fuel pump
bulb (9) at least five times – even if
the bulb is already filled with fuel.
N Press in the choke knob (8) and turn
it to the position that suits the engine
temperature:
Cranking
N Remove the chain scabbard. Check
that the chain is not touching the
ground or any other obstacles.
N Place the unit on the ground: It must
rest securely on the engine support
and the hook. If necessary, rest the
hook on a raised support (e.g. a
branch, mound or something
similar).
WARNING
Check that nobody is standing within the
working range of the pruner.
N Make sure you have a safe and
secure footing.
N Hold the unit with your left hand on
the fan housing and press it down
firmly – your thumb should be under
the fan housing.

N Hold the starter grip with your right
hand.

feel it engage and then give it a brisk
strong pull.
