For specific starting instructions, see the

other solid surface in an open area.

To reduce the risk
of personal injury
to the operator
from blade or line
contact and
thrown objects, make sure your unit is
equipped with the proper deflector, han-
dle and harness for the type of cutting
attachment being used (see chart in the
chapter on "Approved Combinations of
Cutting Attachment, Deflector, Handle
and Harness".)
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from blade or
line contact, be absolutely sure that the
cutting attachment is clear of you and all
other obstructions and objects, includ-
ing the ground, because when the
engine starts at starting-throttle, engine
speed will be fast enough for the clutch
to engage and move the cutting
attachment.
As can be seen in that chart, some
cutting attachments may require you to
change your deflector, handle and / or
harness.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.
Arrows on the deflector (A) and limit
stop (B) (as seen from the underside)
show the correct direction of rotation of
the cutting attachment. When viewed
from above, however, the cutting

skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times (see chapters on
"Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting
the Cutting Attachments" of your
instruction manual.)
attachment rotates counterclockwise.
With the engine running only at idle,
attach the power tool to the spring hook
of your harness (see appropriate
chapter of this manual.)
Adjust carrying harness and hand grip to
suit your size before starting work. The
machine should be properly balanced as
specified in your instruction manual for
proper control and less fatigue in
operation. To be better prepared in case
of an emergency, practice releasing the
unit from the harness as quickly as
possible.
Warning!
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.

Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
