OPERATING THE TRIMMER (FIG. 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.Trimmer should be held at a
comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Always operate trimmer 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 oil dripping from the muffler.
