TO STOP THE ENGINE (FIG 2D STEP 1)
■
Place the switch to the "O" (off) position.
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Fig. 5
Hold the product 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 product should be
held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about
hip height.
Always operate the product at full throttle. Cut tall grass
from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping
around the shaft housing and bump head which may cause
damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped
around the bump head, stop the engine, disconnect the
spark plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting
at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping from the
silencer.
CUTTING TIPS
See Fig. 6
■
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away
from your body. (Proper operating position shown in
figure 5.)
■
Keep the product tilted toward the area being cut; this
is the best cutting area.
■
The product cuts when passing the product from
right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the
operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown
in illustration.
■
Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass.
