Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the
centre hole. The most common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp corners have
been formed at the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been used
with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.
Check that the support flange is not cracked due to fatigue or due to being tightened too
much. Discard the support flange if it is cracked.
Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force. The nut lock should have a locking
force of at least 1.5 Nm. The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50 Nm.
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or cracked. Replace the blade guard if it is
exposed to impact or is cracked.
Check that the trimmer head and trimmer guard are not damaged or cracked. Replace the
trimmer head or trimmer guard if they have been exposed to impact or are cracked.

Starting and stopping
The complete clutch cover and shaft must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise
the clutch can come loose and cause personal injury.
Always move the machine away from the refueling area before starting. Place the machine on
a flat surface. Ensure the cutting attachment cannot come into contact with any object.
Make sure no unauthorized persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of
serious personal injury. The safety distance is 15 metres.
11.3.2.1
Cold starting:
A “cold” start of the engine means starting it after at least 5 minutes from when it was switched
off or after refueling.
Starting: Ignition: Press down the “I” side of the engine switch. (Fig. 21)
Primer bulb: Press the primer bulb repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The bulb
need not be completely filled. (Fig. 22)
Choke: Set the choke knob in the choke
position. (Fig. 23)
Throttle lock button: When pressing throttle trigger lock-out and throttle trigger, press the
throttle lock button simultaneously, and then release throttle trigger and throttle trigger
lock-out. (Fig. 24)
The throttle lock will automatically release by pressing the throttle trigger
again. If you manually turn the choke knob from choke position to run
position before releasing the throttle lock button, the cutting attachment
will start to rotate immediately when the engine is started.
Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your
foot!). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel
some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord. Never
twist the starter cord around your hand. Repeat pulling the cord until engine firing occur.
(Fig. 25)
Choke: Set the choke knob in the open
position. (Fig. 26)
Repeat pulling the cord until engine start. When the engine starts, allow the engine to
warm up with the throttle lock engaged. Then, pressing throttle trigger to release the
throttle lock. (Fig. 27)
Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the
cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine.
