Stopping the Engine
Emergency Stopping Procedure
When it is completely necessary to stop the engine immediately, PRESS the on/off
switch (10) to the OFF position (position “O”) until the engine stops.
Normal Stopping Method
For normal stopping, release the throttle trigger (11) and allow the engine to
return to its idle speed. Press the on/off switch (10) to the OFF position, marked
with an “O”, until the engine stops completely.
Operation of the Throttle Trigger
The operation of the hedge trimmer is fully controlled from the rear handle (12).
The throttle trigger (11) fully controls the hedge trimmer as follows.
1. With the motor running and the throttle trigger (11) not being pressed or locked
in for starting, the speed of the motor is at idle and at idle, the blades are NOT
engaged.
2. To engage the blades (1), the motor needs to accelerate.
To increase the speed of the motor, press the safety lever (14) down first and then
squeeze the throttle trigger (11). The further you squeeze the throttle trigger (11),
the faster the motor will run. During the increase in motor speed, the blades (1) will
engage.
3. To slow the hedge trimmer, release the throttle trigger (11) to obtain the desired
speed. To return the motor to the idle speed and completely disengage the blades
(1), release the throttle trigger (11) completely.
4. Note, Before you can operate the throttle trigger (11), you MUST depress the
safety lever (14)
Starting a Warm Engine
(Engine has been stopped for no more than 15-20 minutes)
1. Move the on/off switch (10) to the run position and pull the recoil starter (8) cord
again. The engine should start with one or two pulls. If the engine fails to start
after 6 pulls, repeat steps 2 through 9 of the “Starting a Cold Engine” instructions.
