How do I start my Petrol Hedge Trimmer

This article will cover the procedure of starting up your petrol hedge trimmer engine in cold or warm.

Cold Start – Use this procedure when starting the machine for the first time of the day or after it has been left unused for an extended period.

Warm Start – Use this procedure when restarting the machine shortly after it has been switched off.

Cold Start Procedure

Step 1: Set the Start/Stop Switch

Move the Start/Stop switch to the START position.

Step 2: Apply Full Choke

Move the choke lever to the Full Choke position (diagonal line symbol). This reduces airflow and enriches the fuel mixture, making it easier to start a cold engine.

Step 3: Prime the Fuel System

Press the primer bulb approximately 7 times until fuel can be seen flowing through the bulb.

Step 4: Position the Machine Safely

Place the hedge trimmer on a flat, stable surface. Hold the front handle firmly with your left hand.

Step 5: Pull the Starter Cord

Using your right hand, pull the starter cord sharply until the engine attempts to start.

Step 6: Move the Choke to Run

As soon as the engine attempts to run, move the choke lever to the Run position (vertical line symbol).

Step 7: Start the Engine

Pull the starter cord again until the engine starts and runs.

Step 8: Allow the Engine to Warm Up

Let the engine idle for 15–30 seconds before operating the hedge trimmer.

Warm Start Procedure

Step 1: Set the Start/Stop Switch

Move the Start/Stop switch to the START position.

Step 2: Set the Choke to Run

Ensure the choke lever is in the Run position (vertical line symbol).

Step 3: Start the Engine

Pull the starter cord until the engine starts and runs normally.

Safety Information

Do not operate the hedge trimmer with the choke in the Full Choke position once the engine is running. Always move the choke to the Run position after the engine attempts to start to prevent flooding and poor engine performance.
