WARNING! The gearbox and clutch drum must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injury. Always move the machine about 3 metres from the filling position before starting. Place the machine on a firm surface. Make sure the cutting attachment cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure that no unauthorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury.
Press the machine body against the ground using your left hand (NOTE! Not your foot). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord. Reset the choke control as soon as the engine fires and repeat until the engine starts. When the engine starts quickly apply full throttle and the start throttle will automatically disengage. NOTE! Do not pull the starter cord out completely and do not release the starter cord from the fully extended position. This can damage the machine.
Cold engine IGNITION: Set the stop switch to the start position. CHOKE: Set the choke control in the choke position (A). The choke position is also the automatic start throttle position. NOTE! If the outside temperature is very low and the machine has not been used in the last hour, let the engine warm up on start throttle setting for one minute. AIR PURGE: Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The diaphragm need not be completely filled. 12 � English
