WARNING!
The cutting attachment will engage and rotate as the engine starts
and accelerates. If the engine did not continue to run, repeat the appropriate
cranking procedure (warm or cold engine). When the engine starts, clear excess
fuel from the combustion chamber by revving the engine several times with the
throttle trigger (operating the trigger will automatically disengage the "fast idle"
setting).
5.3.1 If the engine fails to start
Repeat the appropriate cranking procedure (warm or cold engine).If the engine
fails to start after repeated attempts, the engine is likely flooded. Proceed to the
following procedure (see 6.4).
