9.1 COLD STARTING THE ENGINE – 
FIGS. 3 – 6

Rest the hedge trimmer on a stable surface.

 

Press the ON/OFF switch 

 to the ‘I’ (ON) 

position.

 

Standing behind the machine, firmly grip the 
front handle with your hand.

Important:

 Do not use your foot.

 

With your other hand grip the recoil starter cord. 
Ensure the blades are not touching any objects. 
Pull the starter cord using short sharp 
movements.

Note:

 Do not use the full length of the recoil starter 

cord as this can cause breakage or premature 
failure. Do not release the starter cord to recoil on 
its own. Damage will occur to the mechanism.

 

Slide the choke lever 

 forward to the 

(closed) position. 

 

Pump the primer 

 ten times until fuel is 

visible in the bubble. This moves the fuel up the 
line to the head.
