11. Allow the engine to warm up for about 2 to 3 minutes
before cutting.
NOTE
To avoid reducing engine life, do not run the engine at
high speeds without any load over a long period of time.
Starting the warm engine
Use only 1, 5, and 6 of the starting procedure for a cold
engine.
If the engine does not start, use the same starting procedure
as for a cold engine.

Do not put the machine where there are
fl

fl
ying debris.
2. Cut a straight shallow line (31) to the range to be cut.

3. Cut straight along the line to the required depth.
WARNING
○
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
○
Operator and bystanders must not stand in the line of
rotation of the cut-o
ff
wheel. Doing so may result in serious
injury or death should the wheel burst.
○
Never apply lateral pressure (side force) to the cut-o
ff
wheel during cutting. Doing so will damage the cut-o
ff
wheel.
○
Do not cut in a curved line.
NOTE
○
When cutting, move the machine back and forward along
the line in order to be not overheat the cut-o
ff
wheel.
If you cut the same position in long time, the cut-o
ff
wheel
may get hot and be weakened.
○
Always cut at full speed at all times with pressing lightly.
This is the way to get best e
ffi
cient for cutting.
○
Do not cut a deep groove at one time. To make deep
groove, cut several times a shallow groove.
