When the engine is running, first lift up the
hedge trimmer from the floor, then release the
throttle safety catch and briefly press the throttle to
cancel the half throttle catch.
Please note: When the throttle safety catch is
pressed, the cutter will be moving in the half
throttle setting!
Release the throttle lever again to allow the engine
to run at idle speed. Now you can commence
working.
Summary of the key points in the startup process:
Take off the blade guard,
position the engine safely on level ground,
if necessary press the primer several times,
set the ON / OFF switch to "I".
Cold start:

5.3 Engine will not start:

Check that all previously described adjustments are
correct, if the engine does not start after repeated
attempts, in particular that the ON/OFF switch is not
set to position "0". Try starting once again. The
combustion chamber will be flooded, if the engine
still fails to start.
In that case we recommend you proceed as follows:
Remove the spark plug cover.
Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug and dry fuel mixture from
the electrodes.
Move the throttle lever up to full throttle. Pull
the starter handle several times (with removed
spark plug) to clear the combustion chamber.
Refit the spark plug, the plug cap and the plug
cover.
To set a part throttle stop, set the choke lever to
and then turn it back to
with the throttle in this part throttle setting
and the ON / OFF switch set to "I".

. Start the engine

5.4 Turning off the engine:

Release the throttle and set the ON/OFF switch to
position "0".
Please note: The cutter will run on for a short time
when the throttle safety catch is held despite the
throttle being released and the engine being
switched off. Ensure that the cutters have stopped
completely before putting the machine down.
Emergency stop Should the engine – due to a
faulty ON / OFF switch – fail to stop, it can also be
stopped by closing the choke (choke lever in
position ). After such an event, do not restart
the engine, but have the equipment checked
by an authorised service shop.
5.5 Additional notes on correct handling
of the starter
The following instructions are aimed at increasing
the service life of the starter rope and of the starter
mechanism:
Pull the starter cord out, until you can feel a
definite resistance; then pull it through quickly
and firmly.
Always pull the rope out in a straight line, do not
let the rope drag across the edge of the rope
eyelet.
Do not pull rope all the way out - risk of the rope
breaking.
Always manually guide the rope back into its
start position with your hand on the starter grip -
do not let it retract on its own.
A specialist can replace a damaged starter rope.
Note:
When starting the hedge trimmer under part
throttle, the cutting blade is blocked when the
throttle control lock is released (cutting blade
brake). Do not use the power tool if drive is still
being delivered to the cutting blade under part
throttle even though the throttle control lock is not
pressed. In this case you should immediately have
the unit checked by a specialist workshop.
