Starting the engine if necessary This model is fitted with a semiautomatic decompression valve (1) to make starting easier. Press the rubber cover until you can feel it engage. This pushes in the decompression valve behind it. This in turn reduces the compression, so that it takes less force to pull the starter cord to accelerate the engine to its starting speed. The high pressure in the combustion chamber after the first ignition automatically closes the decompression valve. CAUTION: Observe the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page 5 and 6! Start the Power Cut only after complete assembly and inspection! Move at least 3m (10 feet) away from the place where you fuelled the Power Cut. Make sure you have a good footing, and place the Power Cut on the ground in such a way that the cutting disc is not touching anything. Move the protective hood (3) into the proper position for the work you intend to do (see illustration). Grasp the grip (2). The hood (3) can swing in both ways within its range of motion. Caution: Always make sure that the straight outer edge of the impact plate (4) and the edge of the hood are parallel (see arrows). If this is not the case, take the tool to a service center. Cold‑starting Move the combination switch (6) up (choke position). Grasp handle (hand pressure actuates the grip throttle lever lock (8)). Push the throttle (9) in all the way and hold it. Press the throttle lock (7) and release the throttle (9) (the throttle lock will hold the throttle at half-throttle position). NOTE: If the Power Cut is in a trolley, bring the control lever to the third or fourth detent. Depress decompression valve (5). 18 3 meters
