Start engine and let it warm up for a minute or two, then reduce throttle to slightly over idling speed. On model H-10 pull clutch lever forward to engage drive. Take firm hold of handle, kick caster handle toward operator out of bracket slot with right foot and slowly lower work head to surface. Very little or no pressure is required on handle. Let the machine doe the work. To stop machine, lift up on handle and push caster handle with right foot into bracket slot, disengage clutch and hold stop button on magneto down until engine stops completely.

    • Start by moving the machine slowly from right to left about 16" until the cutters have cut a ridge to the depth required. Then, slowly pull the cutter plate into the ridge and move slowly firm side to side into the ridge caused be the initial cut, making a path convenient to the operator. If cutting with the front of the plate (moving machine toward operator); the best cutting motion is from right to left. If cutting with the back of the plate, (moving machine away for the operator), the best motion is from left to right. Five minutes of proper practice will an expert operator.
