McCulloch petrol strimmer?

I have been given a petrol strimmer that needs some TLC.
I know nothing about these and the only info I can get from the side of the engine is Model N213, serial No. 2002-114N52499, and further down a part No. 530-056390, maybe 530-056590.
There are two wires coming from an off/on switch that have been cut off.
Can anyone provide me with some help ie. further details, handbook etc.
Thanks,

One of the wires will go to Earth, usually to one of the studs on the side of the engine,making sure it goes to Earth and not the casing. The other will go to the coil,
take the cover off and look for the other end.reattach.
they were probably cut because the switch didn't work?
or as i have found in the past,it was done just to isolate the switch.
doesn't really matter which way you put them.
