Operation
WARNING
•Keep bystanders and animals at least 50 feet (15m) away from the operating point. If you are approached, immediately stop the engine.
■STARTING ENGINE
1.Rest the unit on a flat, firm place. Keep the cutting head off the ground and clear of surrounding objects as it will start rotating upon starting of the engine.
2.Pump the primer until fuel flows out in the clear tube.
3.Move the choke lever upward to close the choke.
4.Shift the ignition switch to the START position.
5. Pull the starter rope.
WARNING
•The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch mechanism, so the cutting attachment begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started by putting the throttle into the start position. When starting the engine, place the product onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the cutting part nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacle when the engine starts.
NOTE
•Avoid pulling the rope to its end or returning it by releasing the knob. Such actions can cause starter failures.
6.When the engine has started, move the choke lever gradually downward to open the choke.
7.Allow the engine to warm up for a half minute before starting operation.
NOTE
1.When restarting the engine immediately after stopping it, leave the choke open.
2.Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due to excess fuel. When the engine failed to start after several attempts, open the choke and repeat pulling the rope, or remove the spark plug and dry it.
