Place the machine on a hard, level surface.

Lock the throttle lever (as described in “Starting the
engine from cold”).

Hold the machine by the front handle in your right
hand and pull the starter cable up to the first
resistance point (approx. 10 cm). Now pull the
starter cable quickly. The machine should start after
1 – 2 pulls. If the machine does not start after 6 pulls,
repeat steps 1 – 7 of the procedure for starting the
engine from cold.
Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the machine
immediately, set the ON/OFF switch to “Stop” or “0”
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engine
has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/OFF
switch to “Stop” or “0”.
Practical tips
Never allow the machine to run at low speed for
starting or for cutting.
Cutting for dense growth
The most effective method is to use wide, sweeping
movements, guiding the cutting edge of the blade
straight through the branches. A slight incline of the
blade downwards towards the movement will produce
best cutting results.
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the like
along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a level
height. The branches above it will be cut off. (Fig. 6)
