unit with your left hand on the carrying handle
and put one foot against the base plate to pre‐
vent it slipping.

until you feel it engage and then give it a brisk
strong pull. Do not pull out the starter rope to
full length – it might otherwise break.
► Do not let the starter grip snap back. Guide it
slowly back into the housing so that the starter
rope can rewind properly.
