Starting and stopping WARNING! The complete clutch cover and ! shaft must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injury. Always move the machine away from the refuelling area and source before starting. Place the machine on a flat surface. Ensure the cutting attachment cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure no unauthorised persons are in the working area. Otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury. The safety distance is 15 meters. Starting a cold engine Primer bulb: Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm (about 10 times). The diaphragm need not be completely filled. WARNING!

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 twist the starter cord around your hand. NOTE! Do not squeeze the throttle control while attempting to start the engine. Repeat pulling the cord until engine attemps to start (or maximum 3 pulls). If the engine starts or attempts to start, push the choke lever down to the run position. Keep on pulling the cord powerfully until the engine starts. Once the engine starts, allow the engine to warm up for 30 seconds before applying full throttle. CAUTION!
