Starting and Stopping Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual packed with your string trimmer for instructions on starting and
stopping the engine.
Using Your String Trimmer
Be sure trimming area is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage the string trimmer
or engine. Such objects could be accidently thrown by the trimmer in any direction and cause serious
personal injury to the operator and others.
WARNING
The operation of any string trimmer can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
damage your eyes severely. Always wear safety glasses while operating the string trimmer, or while
performing any adjustments or repairs on it.
The string trimmer is designed with the spindle offset to the left side, allowing the operator to trim along
a fence, landscaping, or a house to his or her’s right side without having to make any adjustments to the
machine.
Operate the string trimmer at a slower walking speed when trimming tall, thick weeds or grass.
Clean the underside of the trimmer after each use to remove any debris build up.
WARNING
Shut the engine off and wait until the trimmer head comes to a complete stop before cleaning the discharge
area. The trimmer head continues to rotate for a few seconds after the trimmer head control is released.
Do not trim on excessively steep slopes. If a slope is difficult to stand on, do not trim. Do not trim on slopes
when the ground is slippery or wet. Trim across the face of a slope, not up and down.
CAUTION
While operating the string trimmer, do not allow the spindle to contact a concrete, asphalt, or gravel surface.
Doing so will result in premature wear.
Flywheel Screen
Keep the flywheel screen free of grass clippings and debris at all times.
Engine Controls
See the Engine Operator’s Manual for the location and function of the controls on the engine
Adjusting the Spindle Height
The spindle height can be adjusted for various
applications. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. 1. Loosen the wing nut found on each side of the
spindle shaft.
NOTE: The wing nuts are designed so that they
cannot be removed from the spindle shaft.
2. 2. Slide the spindle upward or downward to the
desired position before retightening the wing nuts.
See Figure3-2.
