Starting a small engine

My job requires me to start several small engines (chainsaw, gas fan, generator) just to make sure they're operational. I've been told it's not good to start them up and then shut them down as soon as they start running. I'm know nothing about small engines and was wondering why I'm told this

    It won't hurt them but I like to make sure they will keep running for more than a few seconds.
