Default RE: Hand starting procedure...

Doesn't hurt to run some sand paper over the trailing edge of the plastic APC props as they can be sharp like a knife. Had my prop kick back against my finger and cut it to the bone... which brings me to my next suggestion - a leather glove. It's handy to know how to flip a prop when restarting on the taxiway vs walking your plane back to your flight box.
