– Firmly hold the clutch case with your left hand, as illustrated.
– Slowly pull the starter handle until you feel resistance, and then continue to
pull sharply.
– Do not pull out the starter rope to its full extent, and do not allow the starter
handle to retract by itself. Maintain control of the starter rope and ensure it
retracts slowly.

excessive fuel intake.
– If excessive fuel intake occurs, remove the spark plug and pull the starter handle slowly to remove excess fuel. Also, dry the electrode

Caution during operation:
If the throttle lever is opened fully during a no-load operation, the engine revolutions increase over 10,000 min

CAUTION: Always reduce the engine revolutions when the equipment is not being used for work.
Operating the equipment at high revolutions when not being used for work will shorten the lifespan of the equipment.
