Start/Stop switch Open choke Closed choke
Pull quickly and firmly on the starter handle, keeping hold of the handle as it
returns to its rest position.
Repeat until the engine fires.
After 15 to 30 seconds with the engine running, return the choke to its open
(run)
position, as shown
.
Holding the safety lever down with the palm of the hand, press the throttle
trigger with your index finger. Increasing the pressure on the throttle trigger will
raise engine speed and engage the cutting mechanism.
Starting a hot engine
NOTE: You should not need to use the choke when starting a hot or recently-run
engine.
To start a hot or recently run machine, follow the same procedure as for when
starting from cold, but do not use the choke.
If the engine does not start after four pulls on the starter handle, continue as if
the engine was cold (by using the choke).
3.22 Stopping the brush cutter
Remove all pressure from the throttle trigger.
Move the Start/Stop switch into the STOP position (marked O).
The engine and the machine will come to stop completely after a brief
moment.
3.23 Extending the cutting line in use
Hold the rotating cutting head parallel to the ground and
lightly tap the cutting head on the ground (see
illustration). The nylon spool will automatically release a
length of cutting line. If the line is too long, a blade on
the deflector guard will cut the line to its optimum
length. To avoid using too much line, do not tap the
cutting head too many times on the ground.
