3. Hold the machine firmly on the ground,
with your hand on the front handgrip and
your foot in the rear handgrip, to avoid
losing control during starting (Fig. 17).
If the machine is not held firmly,
the force of the engine could cause
the user to lose his balance or direct
the bar towards him or an obstacle.

turning the lever to position «A».
6. Pull the starter grip again until
the engine starts as normal.

the throttle control lever (Fig. 12.B)
to disengage the pre-throttle device
and allow the engine to run idle.
8. Disengage the chain brake (par. 5.7).
IMPORTANT Do not let the engine
run at high speed with the chain brake
engaged, as this could cause overheating
and damage to the clutch.
9. Let the engine run idle for at least 1
minute before using the machine.
IMPORTANT If the starter handgrip is
pulled repeatedly with the starter on, it may
