START AND STOP
Start and stop
!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.
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.
Start
!WARNING! The cutting blade can rotate when the engine starts. Make sure it can rotate freely.
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. Never twist the starter cord around your hand.
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.
Stop
The engine is stopped by switching off the ignition. (Slide the stop switch to the right.)
