STARTING AND STOPPING

With a warm engine:

Make sure that the stop switch (STOP) is in the left position.

Set the choke control in the choke position. The choke position is also the automatic start throttle position.

Decompression valve: Press in the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder, this is to assist starting the power cutter. The decompression valve should always be used when starting. The valve automatically returns to its initial position when the machine starts.

Push the choke control to disable the choke (the start throttle position remains).

Grip the front handle with your left hand. Put your right foot on the lower section of the rear handle pressing the machine against the ground. Pull the starter handle with your right hand until the engine starts.

Never twist the starter cord around your hand.

Press the throttle trigger to disengage the start throttle and the machine will idle.

NOTICE! Pull with your right hand out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) and then pull firmly and rapidly.

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.

WARNING! When the engine is running

! the exhaust contains chemicals such as unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The content of the exhaust fumes is known to cause respiratory problems, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive har

Carbon monoxide is colorless and tasteless and is always present in exhaust fumes. The onset of carbon monoxide poisoning is distinguished by a slight dizziness which may or may not be recognized by the victim. A person may collapse and lapse into unconsciousness with no warning if the concentration of carbon monoxide is sufficiently high. Since carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, its presence can not be detected. Any time exhaust odors are noticed, carbon monoxide is present. Never use a petrol powered power cutter indoors or in trenches more than 3 foot (1 meter) deep or in other areas with poor ventilation. Ensure proper ventilation when working in trenches or other confined areas.

Stopping

CAUTION! The cutting blade continues to

! rotate up to a minute after the motor has stopped. (Blade coasting.) Make sure that the cutting blade can rotate freely until it is completely stopped. Carelessness can result in serious personal injury.

• Stop the engine by moving the stop switch (STOP) to the right.
