Stopping The Engine
Release the throttle trigger
(B, Fig. 35)
and let the engine return
to idle.
To stop the engine, move the on/off switch
(A)
to the
“STOP”
position. Do not put the stick edger on the ground when the
cutting attachment is still moving.
In the event that the
“STOP”
position of the switch will not
function, pull the choke lever in the CLOSE position (

to stop the engine.
Pre-operation checking
WARNING: THE CUTTING ATTACHMENT SHOULD
NEVER TURN AT IDLE. Turn the idle speed screw “T”
counter-clockwise to reduce the idle RPM, or contact
a Servicing Dealer for adjustment and discontinue
use until the repair is made.
Serious personal injury may result from the cutting
attachment turning at idle.
A damaged clutch may cause a cutting attachment to rotate at idle
speed and increase the risk of personal injury from loss of control
and from contact with the cutting tool.
