OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 8.
WARNING:
Engine housing can become hot during trimmer opera-
tion. Do not rest or place your arm, hand, or any body
part against the engine housing during trimmer operation.
Only hold the trimmer as shown in Figure 8 with all body
parts clear of engine housing. Extended contact with
the engine housing can result in burns or other injuries.
WARNING:
Always position the unit on the operator's right side. The
use of the unit on the operator's left side will expose the
operator to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn
injury.
OPERATION
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with
the bottom of the engine above waist level.
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with
both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a
comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from the
top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the
shaft housing and string head which may cause damage from
overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string
head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire,
and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle
will result in lubricant dripping from the muffler.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keep-
ing clearance between the body and the product. Any
contact with the housing or string trimmer cutting head
can result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 8 - 9.
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from
your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 8.)
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from
right to left. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing
the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at
the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown
in figure 9.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even break-
age. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
ADVANCING LINE USING THE REEL EASY
TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM
Line advance is controlled by tapping string head on grass
while running engine at full throttle.
Run engine at full throttle.
Tap string head on ground to advance line. Line advances
each time the head is tapped.
Several taps may be required until line strikes the cut off
blade.
Resume trimming.
