Proper Trimmer Operation
SAFETY:
–
Fully familiarize yourself with the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS section.
–
Check your equipment before operation, especially the
string head, grass shield, muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
–
Use only recommended or equivalent replacement line in the
cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attachment. To
install any other type of replacement line or cutting head to
this string trimmer can result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION:
–
Assemble the grass trimmer. Refer to the ASSEMBLY
section earlier in this manual.
–
Start the trimmer. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier in
this manual.
–
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming. Hold
the trimmer with your right hand on the throttle and your
left hand on the front handle. Keep string head below waist
level. Never cut with the string head located over 15 in.
(38.1 cm) or more above the ground.
–
Move the trimmer slowly along outer edge of grass or
vegetation to be trimmed.
–
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the shaft housing and string head
which could 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.
GENERAL TIPS:
–
To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
–
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut.
–
Use the edge of line to do the cutting; do not force the string
head into uncut grass.
–
Fencing, posts, rocks and other items can cause extra wear
and possibly breakage of the trimmer line. Take extra care
when cutting around these items as they can be damaged
by the string.
–
The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from
right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
