Gasoline grass trimmer
Faulty cutting equipment or an incorrectly sharpened blade increases the risk of accidents. When
the engine is started with the choke in either the choke or start throttle positions the cutting
equipment starts to rotate immediately.
Never start the machine indoors. Bear in mind the dangers of inhaling the engine's exhaust fumes.
Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no risk of people or animals coming into
contact with the cutting equipment.
Place the machine on the ground, ensure the cutting equipment runs free of twigs and stones. Push
the machine body towards the ground using your left hand. (NOTE! Not with your foot). Grip the
starter handle with your right hand and pull the starter cord.
