English / USA For specific starting instructions, see the appropriate section of your manual. Place the power tool on firm ground or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain good balance and secure footing. !Warning! To reduce the risk of injury from blade contact, be absolutely sure that the cutting tool is clear of you and all other obstructions and objects, including the ground, because when the engine starts at starting-throttle, engine speed will be fast enough for the clutch to engage and move the blades on the cutting tool. 389BA023 KN 002BA057 KN Once the engine has started, immediately blip the throttle trigger, which should release the starting throttle and allow the engine to slow down to idle. With the engine running only at idle, attach the power tool to the spring hook of your harness (see appropriate chapter of this manual). !Warning! Your power tool is a one-person machine. Do not allow other persons in the general work area, even when starting. !Warning! To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, do not attempt to "drop start" your power tool. !Warning! When you pull the starter grip, do not wrap the starter rope around your hand. Do not let the grip snap back, but guide the starter rope to rewind it properly. Failure to follow this procedure may result in injury to your hand or fingers and may damage the starter mechanism. Important Adjustments !Warning! To reduce the risk of personal injury from loss of control or contact with the running cutting tool, do not use your unit with incorrect idle adjustment. At correct idle speed, the cutting tool should not move. For directions on how to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate section of your instruction manual. If you cannot set the correct idle speed, have your STIHL dealer check your power tool and make proper adjustments and repairs. During Operation Holding and controlling the power tool Always hold the unit firmly with both hands on the handles while you are working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles. Your right hand should grip the rear handle. This also applies to left-handers. 8 HL 100
