▪ Repeat pulling the cord until engine starts. When the engine starts, allow the engine to
warm up with the throttle lock engaged. As soon as the engine is running, press first the
safety lock-out (1) and then the throttle (9) to de-activate the choke and activate the
attached cutting equipment. When engine is running at idle speed with throttle lever
released, the attached cutting equipment must be stationary!
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.
Do not put any part of your body in marked area. Contact can result in burns to the skin, or
electrical shock if the spark plug cap has been damaged. Always use gloves. Do not use a
machine with damaged spark plug cap.
IMPORTANT! If the starter rope is pulled repeatedly with the choke on,
it may flood the engine and make starting difficult.
If you happen to food the engine, repeat the hot start procedure a few times to eliminate any
excess fuel.
9.1.2.2 Hot starting
To hot start the engine immediately after it has stopped, follow steps 1 and 4 of the above
procedure. The choke lever (11) does not to be pulled out to start a warm motor.
9.1.2.3 Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the on/OFF switch (2).
9.2 General working instructions
IMPORTANT! This section describes the basic safety precautions for working
with brush cutters and trimmers.
If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert.
Contact your dealer or your service workshop.
Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability.
You must understand the difference between forestry clearing, grass clearing and grass
trimming before use.
9.2.1 Basic working techniques
Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working operation. Long periods at full throttle
without any load on the engine can lead to serious engine damage.
Sometimes branches or grass get caught between the guard and cutting
attachment. Always stop the engine before cleaning.
Machines fitted with grass blades can be thrown violently to the side when
the blade comes into contact with a fixed object. This is called blade thrust.
A blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the machine and/or operator
to be propelled in any direction, and possibly lose control of the machine.
Blade thrust can occur without warning if the machine snags, stalls or binds.
Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the
material being cut.
