Starting: Hold the product body on the ground with your left hand. Pull the starter rope handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and with force. For a cold engine, use the choke control and air purge bulb.
Operating: Start near the ground and move the product up along the hedge when cutting the sides. Ensure the front of the cutting equipment does not touch the ground.

Cleaning: Regularly clean the air filter, cooling system, and blades. Lubricate the blades before long periods of storage.
