STARTING AND STOPPING
Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
WARNING! When the engine is started with
!the choke in either the choke or start throttle positions the cutting attachment will start to rotate immediately.
Starting
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. Reset the choke control as soon as the engine fires and repeat until the engine starts. When the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle; the throttle will automatically disengage from the start setting. Never twist the starter cord around your hand.
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.
