OPERATION
Section
As with any other piece of outdoor power equipment,
getting the feel for how your machine operates and
getting to know the best techniques for particular jobs are
important to overall good performance.
TRIMMING OPERATION
The trimming operation takes place under the body of the
trimmer, where trimmer string is mounted to a rotating
disk. Material is trimmed and propelled out the edges of
the trimmer.
WARNING
Before operating your machine, be sure you read
and understand all safety, controls and operating
instructions in this owner's manual and on your
machine. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in serious injury or property damage.
WARNING
Allow the machine to come to complete stop before
inspection or servicing. You can tell when the machine
has come to a complete stop when the trimmer disk is
not rotating.
4.1 STARTING THE TRIMMER
Move the machine to a clear, level area outdoors before
starting. Do not operate in the vicinity of bystanders. Make
sure the engine is clean and debris has not accumulated
on the engine or around the muffler.
1. Check engine oil level before starting (see Engine
Owners Manual).
2. Turn choke lever to ON.
3. Lift trimmer bail to handle bar.
4. Grasp the recoil starter cord handle and slowly pull
until resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the
engine and prevent kickback. Repeat if necessary.
5. Allow engine to warm up and turn the choke OFF.
4.2 STOPPING THE TRIMMER
Release the trimmer bail.
4.3 TRIMMING GUIDE
The intended use of the Wheeled Trimmer is trimming,
mowing and edging. The following guidelines can help
you get started.
1. Run unit at full operating speed before starting to trim,
mow or edge.
2. To begin trimming, start the engine, place the trimmer
head on the ground and begin walking slowly.
3. The wheels should remain on the ground at all times
to prevent undue pressure on the trimmer head.
4. The cutting radius is dependent on the amount of
cutting string used and type of application.
5. For difficult conditions and edging, using less than the
full cutting radius is recommended.
6. If mowing a large open area, mow in a counter-
clockwise direction, working from the outside towards
the center. Cut grass discharges to the right side of
the trimmer.
Inspect and clean engine before each use. Debris
accumulation around the muffler can cause a fire.
*Do not operate over an angle of 15°. Higher angles may
cause damage to your MACHINE.
