to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:

OPERATION
Operating the Trimmer
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
user to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn injury.
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 could cause damage from overheating.
If grasses become wrapped around the string head, STOP THE MOTOR, Pull out the plug from the extension
socket and remove grass from the trimmer. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle could result in grass fires.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keeping 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.
TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE
String advance is controlled by tapping the string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.
1.
Run engine at full throttle.
2.
Tap the spool retainer on ground to advance string. The string advances each time the spool retainer is tapped.
Do not hold the spool retainer on the ground.
NOTE:
The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector will cut the line to the correct length.
NOTE:
If the string is worn too short you may not be able to advance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so,
stop the engine, and manually advance the string.
