HOW TO USE YOUR TRIMMER
ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed is controlled by a throt-
tle located on the side of the upper handle.
FAST position is for starting and normal
trimming. SLOW is for light trimming and
fuel economy. STOP is for stopping the
engine.
The operation of any trimmer can result in
foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields
while operating your trimmer or per form ing
any adjustments or repairs. We rec om -
mend standard safety glasses or a wide
vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
TO ADJUST TRIMMING HEIGHT
CAUTION:
Stop the engine and wait for
all moving parts to stop. Disconnect spark
plug wire from spark plug and place wire
where it cannot come in contact with plug.
The height of cut can be set to six (6) dif-
ferent positions ranging from 1-1/2 inches
to 3 inches. Recommended cutting height
for the average yard is 2 inches.
1. To adjust trimming height, push in the
locking plate tab and move trimmer
head up or down to desired position.
2. Release tab and be sure head is
locked into one of the six (6) height
positions.

head drive control bar which will require
the operator to be positioned behind the
trimmer handle to operate the trimmer.
• Trimmer head rotation is controlled by

down to the handle.

the control bar is released.
