DANGER!
IMPORTANT
– Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding
area to avoid any dirt from entering the tank
during refilling.
– Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow the
pressure inside to decrease gradually. Use a
funnel to refill and avoid filling the tank to the
brim (Fig. 1).
Always close the fuel tank
cap firmly.
Immediately clean all
traces of fuel which may have dripped on the
machine or the ground and do not start the
engine until the petrol fumes have dissipated.

WARNING!
To start the engine (Fig. 2):
1. Press switch (1) to position “I”.
2. Gently press the bulb (2) on the “primer” 7-10
times until the fuel flows from the exhaust
pipe.
3. Turn the starter control lever (3) to the
“START” position.
4. Hold the machine firmly on the ground with
one hand on the handgrip, in order not to lose
control of the machine during startup.
If the machine is not held
firmly, the force of the engine could cause the
user to lose his balance or direct the blade
towards an obstacle or the same user.
5. Slowly pull the handle (4) on the starter wire
10 - 15 cm, until you feel a certain amount of
resistance.
6. Then pull forcefully a couple of times to start
the engine.
To avoid breakages, never
pull the wire for its entire length and do not allow
it to rub against the wire guide outlet.
