START AND STOP

Control before starting

For reasons of safety follow these recommendations!

Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed

at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.

Check that the support flange is not cracked due to fatigue or due to being

tightened too much. Discard the support flange if it is cracked.

Ensure the locking nut has

not lost its captive force. The nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm. The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50 Nm.

Check that the guard is

not damaged or cracked. Replace the guard if it is exposed to impact or is cracked.

Check that the trimmer head and spray guard are

not damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or spray guard if they are exposed to impact or are cracked.

Never use the machine without a guard or spray guard nor with a defective guard.

Start and stop

!WARNING!

The complete clutch cover with shaft must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can become loose and cause personal injury.

Always move the machine from the filling area before starting. Place the machine on a flat surface. Ensure the cutting equip- ment cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure no unauthorised persons are in the working area, other- wise there is a risk of serious personal injury. The safety distance is 15 metres.

Cold engine

IGNITION: Set the stop switch to the start position. CHOKE: Set the choke control in the choke posi- tion.

AIR PURGE: Prime with fuel by pressing the dia- phragm repeatedly until fuel begins to run back into the tank through the transparent fuel hose.

Warm engine

Use the same starting procedure as for the cold engine, but do not set the choke control in the choke position. Set the throttle to the start position by pressing the throttle trigger and then pressing the red button next to the stop button.

Stop

Stop the engine by switching the stop switch to the stop setting.

!WARNING!

When the engine is started with the choke in the choke or start position the cutting equipment starts to rotate immediately.

Start

Press the machine body against the ground using your left hand (NOTE! Not your foot). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resist- ance (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 and the start throttle will automatically disengage. NOTE! Do not pull the starter cord out completely and do not release the starter cord from the fully extended position. This can damage the machine.
