position.
CHOKE:
Set the choke control in the
choke position.
AIR PURGE:
Press the air purge diaphragm
repeatedly until fuel begins to
fill the diaphragm. The

Warm engine
Use the same starting
procedure as for the cold

Control before starting
!
WARNING!
The complete clutch cover with shaft must
be fitted before the machine is started,
otherwise the clutch can become loose
and cause personal injury.
Always move the machine from the filling
area before starting. Place the machine on
a flat surface. Ensure the cutting
equipment cannot come into contact with
any object. Make sure no unauthorised
persons are in the working area,
otherwise there is a risk of serious
personal injury. The safety distance is 15
metres.
Start and stop
For reasons of safety follow
these recommendations!
• 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 trimmer
head and spray guard are
not damaged or cracked.
Replace the trimmer head
or spray guard if they are
exposed to impact or are
cracked.
• Never use the machine
without a guard or spray
guard nor with a defective
guard.
WARNING!
When the engine is started with the choke
in the choke or start position the cutting
equipment starts to rotate immediately.

Start
Press the machine body
against the ground using your
left hand (NOTE! Not 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.
Reset the choke control as
soon as the engine fires and
repeat until the engine starts.
When the engine starts
quickly apply full throttle and
the start throttle will
automatically disengage.
NOTE! Do not pull the
starter cord out completely
and do not release the starter
cord from the fully extended
position. This can damage the
machine.
