Starting up and switching off the engine
ENGLISH
25
Any contact between the cutting disc and body parts or objects must be perfectly excluded.
•
Put one foot on the rear handle (6) to support the
power tool against the floor.
•
Securely hold the power tool at the top handle (4)
with one hand and push it firmly onto the ground.
•
Operate the starter handle with the other
hand (16).
Other start-up positions are not permissible!
The following notes serve to increase the service life of the starter mechanism:
•
Initially pull out the starter handle (16) slowly until
resistance can be felt for start-up (upper dead
point of the piston).
•
Then quickly and strongly pull through the starter
handle.
•
Always pull out the rope straight.
•
Do not let the rope scrape across the rope eyelet
edge (a).
•
Danger of breaking rope!
Do not pull out the rope to the stop.
•
Always return the starter handle to its initial
position – do not let it snap back.
Damaged starter ropes can be replaced by
specialist workshops authorised by us.
Release the throttle control and push the one-touch stop button.
Ensure that the cutting disc has stopped before putting down the power tool.
Advice: We recommend that you turn the stop dial to "0" only for maintenance work to prevent accidental
start-up of the engine. When operating the power tool, always push the one-touch stop button to switch off
the engine.
