■■After the engine starts, allow the engine to warm up at idle 2 or 3 min- utes before operating the unit.

■■Advancing the throttle makes the cut- ting attachment move faster; releasing the throttle permits the attachment to stop moving. If the cutting attachment continues to move when the engine returns to idle, carburetor idle speed should be adjusted (see “Adjusting Engine Idle”.).
