Control before starting

WARNING!
When the engine starts with the choke lever in
the choke or starter throttle position the
cutting tool (blade or trimmer) starts to rotate
immediately.
START AND STOP
For reasons of safety follow
these recommendations!
• Check that the support flange
is not cracked due to fatigue
or due to being tightened too
much. Replace the support
flange if it is cracked.
• Ensure that the nut has not
lost its tightening capacity
The nut lock shall have a
locking torque of at least
1.5Nm. The nut‘s tightening
torque shall be 35-50 Nm.
• Check that the blade and the
blade guard are not damaged
or cracked. Replace the
blade or blade guard if it has
been exposed to impact or if
it is cracked.

Start and stop

Cold engine
IGNITION:
Set the stop switch to the start
position.
CHOKE:
Set the choke control in the
choke position.
AIR PURGE:
Press the air purge diaphragm
repeatedly until fuel begins to
fill the diaphragm. The dia-
phragm need not be com-
pletely filled.
Warm engine
Use the same starting proce-
dure as for the cold engine, but
do not set the choke control in
the choke position. The start
throttle position is obtained by
setting the choke control in the
choke position and then
returning it to its original
position.
Stop
The engine is stopped by
switching off the ignition.
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
position before starting. Place the machine
on a flat surface. Make sure the blade cannot
come into contact with any object. Make sure
that no unauthorised persons are in the
working area, otherwise there is a risk of
serious personal injury. The safety distance
is 15 metres.

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 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 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.
