When the engine will not start:
1. Is the engine switch in the ON position?
2. Is there fuel in the fuel tank (see page 24)?
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do
not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.
3. Is gasoline reaching the carburetor?
To check, press the priming pump several times (see page 35).
4. Is the spark plug in good condition?
Clean, readjust gap and dry the spark plug. Replace it if necessary (see page 53).
5. If the engine still does not start, take the grass/weed trimmer to your servicing
dealer.
When an abnormal vibration occurs during operation, immediately turn off the
engine and check the cutting attachment is properly installed and tightened
securely, and inspect it for wear, crack or any other damage. If necessary, replace it
(see pages 49 and 50).
