OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 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. The trimmer should be held at
a comfortable position with the rear handle at about hip height.
Always operate the trimmer at full throttle.
Cut tall grass from top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft
housing and string head which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass gets 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.
