Hold prop from front
Position is to be a strong footing on solid ground to prevent slipping.
When the pilot is priming the engine have the mags OFF and swing the propeller a couple of times to draw fuel into the cylinders.

Stand close and swing away!
Don't lean in, don't be timid!
Turn the prop so that the compression cycle is at the 10 o'clock position when you're pulling.
If a failed start occurs, call mags OFF and get a response before moving the blade to the start position.

When engine Fires!
Step quickly to the side and behind the propeller disk, in sight of the pilot
When the engine starts quickly move to the side and behind the propeller disk so the pilot can see you and not worry about you walking into the prop.
Now the aircraft is started and ready for flight.
