serve the following points:
• Pull the starter rope only in the direction specified.
• Do not pull the rope over the edge of the guide bushing.
• Do not pull out the rope more than specified since it
might break.
• Do not let the starter grip snap back, guide it slowly
into the housing. See also chapter “Starting / Stopping
the Engine”!
Replace a damaged starter rope in good time or have
it replaced by your Sunray dealer!

Never throw cuttings into the household garbage
can – they can be composted!
Never stand directly under the branch you are cut-
ting – be wary of falling branches. Note that a branch
may spring back at you after it hits the ground!
Cutting sequence
To allow branches a free fall, always cut the lower branch-
es first. Prune heavy branches (large diameter) in several
controllable pieces.
Working position
Hold the control handle with your right hand, and the drive
tube with your left hand. Your left arm should be extended
to the most comfortable position.
The shaft should always be held at an angle of 60° or
less!
The most convenient working position is a tool angle of
60°, but any lesser angle may be used to suit the situa-
tion concerned.
