–Gently pull the starter handle so that engine oil will spread over the engine, and attach the spark plug.

–Attach the cover to the cutter blade.

–During storage, keep the rod horizontal or keep the machine upright with the blade edge oriented upward. (In this case, pay full attention to prevent the machine from falling.)

Never store the machine with the cutter blade edge oriented downward. Lubricating oil may spill out.

Attention after long-time storage

–Before startup after long-time shutdown, be sure to replace oil (refer to P 18). Oil will deteriorate while the machine is kept out of operation.
