To check the oil level: – Place the machine on a flat stable surface, with the fuel tank cap facing upwards. € Unscrew the tank cap and check that the oil level reaches the rim of the filler. HOW TO START - USE – STOP THE ENGINE STARTING THE ENGINE when it was switched off or after refuelling. The engine must be started in an area at least 3 metres from where you refilled the fuel tank. Press the primer device button (6) 3 or 4 times to prime the carburettor. Hold the machine firmly on the ground with one hand on the power unit, in order not to lose control of the machine during startup (Fig. IMPORTANT To prevent distortions, the drive tube must not be used as a support for the hand or knee during startup. Before starting the engine: – Place the machine firmly on the ground. € Make sure the blade (if used) is not touching the ground or any other object. € Cold starting NOTE A “cold” start of the engine means starting it after at least 5 minutes from 5. Pull the starter rope slowly for 10 - 15 cm until you feel some resistance, then tug it hard a few times until you hear the engine turn over. Never use the machine if the cutting device moves when the engine is running idle; if this is the case regulate the minimum rate (see chap. IMPORTANT To avoid breaking the starter rope, do not pull the whole length of it or let it slide along the edge of the cable guide hole. Release the starter gradually, to avoid letting it fly back uncontrollably. Starting the engine with the starter engaged causes the cutting device to move, only stopping when the starter is disconnected. When the engine is started, disconnect the starter by turning the lever (2) to «OPEN». Let the engine run idle for at least 1 minute before using the machine. The correct running speed will be achieved by pressing the throttle trigger (2) as far as possible. [. . . ] The saw blade is not reversible, thus it must only be used from one side. The blade must never be repaired, but must be replaced as soon as signs of breaking are noted or the sharpening limit is exceeded.
