It took me a while to learn it but you don't have to pull that little
plastic wafer out from the safety cut off switch. Just pressing on the
switch button (with the wafer in place) will kill the engine. Maybe others
haven't realized that yet either. I don't think the manual mentions that.

It also starts much better if the little
>> safety kill-switch knob is held open by the little plastic piece.
