STARTING AND STOPPING
Check before starting
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.
Never use the machine without a guard nor with a 
defective guard.
All covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged before 
you start the machine.
Starting and stopping
Cold engine
Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position.
Choke: Set the choke control (A) in the choke position.
Primer bulb: Press the air purge diaphragm (B) repeatedly 
until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The diaphragm need not 
be completely filled.
Decompression valve (C): Press the valve to reduce the 
pressure in the cylinder and make starting easier. You should 
always use the decompression valve when starting the 
machine. Once the machine has started the valve will 
automatically return to its original setting.
!
WARNING! 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 
refuelling area before starting. Place the 
machine on a flat surface. Ensure the cutting 
attachment 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.
