STARTING AND STOPPING Check before starting • Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found. • Never use the machine without a guard nor with a defective guard. • All covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged before you start the machine. 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. • Check that the support flange is not cracked due to fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard the support flange if it is cracked. Always move the machine away from the refueling 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 (50 ft.). • Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force. The nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm. The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50 Nm. Cold engine Choke: Set the choke control (A) in the choke position. Primer bulb: Press the air purge diaphragm (B) repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The diaphragm need not be completely filled. • Check that the blade guard is not damaged or cracked. Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to impact or is cracked. • Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are not damaged or cracked. Replace the trimmer head or trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or are cracked. Warm engine Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but without setting the choke control in the choke position. Start throttle: (545FX, 545FXT) Set the throttle to the start position by moving the choke control to the choke position and then returning it to its original position. Start throttle: (545FR, 545RX, 545RXT) Set the throttle to the start position by first pressing the throttle lockout and the throttle trigger, then pressing the start throttle button (A). Then release the throttle lockout English - 21
