OPERATION

Fig. 9

proper operating 

position

WARNING:

Always hold the string trimmer away from your body, keep-
ing clearance between your body and the product. Any 
contact with the housing or string trimmer cutting head can 
result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.

CUTTING TIPS

See Figures  - 10.

  Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from 

your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 9.)

 

Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is 
the best cutting area.

 

The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from 
right to left. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing 
the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at 
the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown 
in figure 10.

  Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string 

head into uncut grass. 

  Wire  and  picket  fences  cause  extra  string  wear,  even 

breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may 
wear string rapidly.

  Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, 

and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

ADVANCING  STRING  USING  THE  EZ  WIND

 

TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM

String advance is controlled by tapping string head on grass 
while running engine at full throttle.

  Run engine at full throttle.

  Tap  string  head  on  ground  to  advance  string.  String 

 advances each time the head is tapped.

  Several taps may be required until string strikes the cut 

off blade.

  Resume trimming.

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. 

ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY

With the engine off, push the spool retainer down while pull-
ing on string(s) to manually advance the string.

CUT-OFF BLADE

This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass 
deflector. For best cutting, advance string by tapping the 
string head until the string is trimmed to length by the cut-off 
blade. Advance string whenever you hear the engine running 
faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. 
This will maintain best performance and keep string long 
enough to advance properly.
