OPERATING THE TRIMMER (Fig. 5)
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle
and the 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 oil
dripping from the silencer.
CUTTING TIPS (Fig. 6)
When cutting make sure the cutter head is at a slight angle
as shown while still approximately parallel to the ground
surface. In tall grass cut from the top down to ensure the
moving parts do not get tangled with the long grass / bush.
Move the head in steady strokes from left to right as you
work through the grass / bush.
