Starting
Move at least 3m (10ft) away from the place of refuelling. Place the brush cutter on a clean piece of ground taking care that the cutting tool does
not come into contact with the ground or any other objects.
Cold start
– Push the I-O switch (1) in the direction shown by the arrow.
– Grasp the handle (hand pressure activates the safety lock-off lever (2)).
– Press the thro ttle lever (3) and hold it down.
– Press the lock button (4) and release the control lever, and then release the
lock button (the lock button holds the throttle lever in the start-up position).
– First place the machine on the ground.
– Open the fuel valve. T he valve opens when the lever (5) is at right angles to
the ground (6). The valve closes when the lever is parallel with the ground (7).
– Move the choke lever (8) to the top p osition ( ).
– Firmly hold the clutch case by your left hand, as illustrated.
– Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt and continue with a smart pull.
– Do not pull out the starter rope to its full extent and do not allow the starter
handle to be retracted without control, but ensure that it is retracted slowly.
– Repeat the starting operation until initial ignitions are heard.
– Depress the choke lever ( ) and pull the starter rope again until the engine
starts.
– As soon as the engine starts, immediately tap and release the throttle, thus
releasing the half-throttle lock so that the engine can run in idle.
– Run the engine for approximately one minute a t a moderate speed before
applying full throttle.
Caution during operation:
If the throttle lever is opened fully in a no-load operation, the engine rotation is increased to 10,000 /min or more. Never operate the engine at a
higher speed than required and at an approximate speed of 6,000 - 8,000 /min.
Starting the warm engine
– As described above , except without moving the choke lever (choke lever remains in the down position).
Stopping
– Release the control lever (3) fully, and when the engine speed has lowered,
push the I-O switch (1) to “O” position the engine will now stop.
