The engine runs at idle speed.
Note: Press the throttle lever again if the engine
no longer runs smoothly.
Stopping the engine
1. Release the throttle lever (07/2) and let the
engine run at idling speed.
2. Move the on/off switch (07/1) to the STOP
position.

prox. 7 to 10 times.
5. Starting the engine:
■
Press the appliance firmly onto the
ground with one hand.
■
With the other hand, pull the starter han-
dle (13/6), first carefully and slowly until
resistance is felt, and then firmly and
quickly upwards until resistance is felt
again (approx. 1 arm length).
■
Allow the starter rope to coil up again, but
without releasing the starter handle.
■
Repeat the previous step several times
until the engine starts, but stalls again.
6. Moving the choke lever to RUN:
■
Press the appliance firmly onto the
ground with one hand.
■
With the other hand, pull the starter han-
dle (13/6), first carefully and slowly until
resistance is felt, and then firmly and
quickly upwards until resistance is felt

speed.
Note: Press the throttle lever again if the en-
gine no longer runs smoothly.
Warm start
If the engine is still warm from use, i.e. shortly af-
ter it was switched off, a "warm start" is carried
out. The choke is not used here.
1. Move the on/off switch (13/1) to the START
position.
2. Check that choke lever (13/4) is in the RUN
position.
■
Press the appliance firmly onto the
ground with one hand.
■
With the other hand, pull the starter han-
dle (13/6), first carefully and slowly until
resistance is felt, and then firmly and
quickly upwards until resistance is felt
again (approx. 1 arm length).

The engine runs at idle speed.
Note: Press the throttle lever again if the engine
no longer runs smoothly.
Stopping the engine
1. Release the throttle lever (13/3) so that the
engine runs at idle speed.
2. Move the on/off switch (13/1) to the STOP
position.
3. Wait until the cutting tool has come to a com-
plete standstill.
6.4 Prolonging the cutting line during
operation (14)
The cutting line shortens during operation and
frays out.
1. Allow the engine to run at full speed.
2. Tap (14/a) the spool head (14/1) on the
ground from time to time. This unwinds a
piece of new cutting line from the spool and
cuts off the used end of the cutting line
(14/2).
