OPERATING THE TRIMMER
•
Adjust handle to a convenient position for
cutting as instructed on page 6.
•
Allow the engine to warm up at a fast idle for a
few minutes.
•
Increase engine speed as necessary.
•
When mowing shrubs, weeds, or grass, swing
the cutter head from right to left as you move
forward.
- Avoid striking any obstruction such as rocks,
stones or tree stumps which can damage the
cutter head.
Do not cut into the ground.
- To avoid damage to the engine, do not run the
engine unloaded at full throttle.
•
In the event that the cutter strikes an
obstruction or is otherwise prevented from
rotating in normal operation, the clutch will slip
to prevent possible engine damage. In this
case, stop the engine, free the cutter and then
start the operation again.
