Starting the engine

The blades will move if the throttle latch is depressed. Before using the device, make sure that there are no people
or impediments in the vicinity.
Should a person or other object contact the blades, an accident or injury could be caused.
When starting the engine, observe the precautions described from Page 4 in the section "For safe use of your prod-
uct" to ensure that you operate the product correctly.
If the cutter blade moves even though the throttle trigger is in the idle speed position when the engine is started,
adjust the carburettor before using the product.
Cutter blade will start moving as engine attains clutch engagement speed.
Failure to observe the precautions could cause an accident or injury, or even lead to a fatality.
NOTE
Pull out the starter grip gently at first, and then more rapidly. Do not pull the starter rope out to more than 2/3 of its length.
Do not let go of the starter grip as it returns.

ything is wrong, replace it with a new one.

blades does not come into contact with the surface of the
ground or any other impediment using a beam or other such
implement.
3. Check that there are no fuel leaks.
