Operation

WARNING!

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries.  Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from 

all openings.  Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop 

before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit. 

WARNING!

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas.  Breathing CO can cause 

unconsciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns.  ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is 

directed away from your face and body..  

WARNING!

Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start fires. This unit is equipped with a spark arrestor 

to prevent discharge of hot particles from the engine. Metal blade use also can create sparks if the blade strikes rocks, 

metal, or other hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for laws or regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.  

Starting A Flooded Engine

1.  Slide the ignition switch to the “

I

” (ON) position.

2.  Open the choke, put the throttle trigger in the full throttle position, then clear excess fuel from the combustion chamber by 

cranking the engine several times.

3. 

If the engine still fails to start or fire, refer to the troubleshooting flow chart at the end of this manual.

Starting the Engine 

(continued)

 

After the engine starts, allow the 

engine to warm up at idle 2 or 3 

minutes before operating the unit.

When the Engine Starts...

 

After the engine is warm, pick up 

the unit and clip on the shoulder 

strap, if so equipped.

 

Squeezing the throttle trigger makes 

the cutting attachment move faster; 

releasing the throttle permits the 

attachment to stop moving. If the 

cutting attachment continues to 

move when the engine returns to 

idle, carburetor idle speed should be 

adjusted (see “Adjusting Engine Idle.”)
