■ STOPPING THE ENGINE
• Stop the engine immediately in an
emergency.
• The blade rotates by inertia for a
while after the engine has
stopped. Do not touch the blade
until the engine has stopped
completely.
• Do not touch the muffler or spark
plug with bare hands immediately
after the engines has stopped.
Otherwise you may suffer burns
because the muffler and spark
plug are extremely hot.
If you stop the engine while keeping
the revolution speed high, the engine
could become damaged. Return the
throttle lever to its original position
and reduce the engine speed before
stopping the engine except in an
emergency.
1. Return the throttle lever to the
idling position.
2. Set the engine stop switch to
“stop.”
