WARNING! When the engine is started
!
with the choke in choke position the
cutting attachment will start to rotate
immediately.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your
left hand (CAUTION! Not with 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. Never wrap the

do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.

shock if the spark plug cap has been damaged. Always
use gloves. Do not use a machine with damaged spark
plug cap.
