OPERATING THE TRIMMER
Adjust handle to a convenient position for cutting
as instructed on page 5.
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.
WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW EITHER PEOPLE OR
ANIMALS INTO THE WORK AREA.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN
CUTTING.
DRESS PROPERLY - AVOID LOOSE
CLOTHING.
WHEN GRASS OR WEEDS HAVE CLOGGED
THE CUTTER HEAD AFFECTING NORMAL
OPERATION, FIRST, STOP THE ENGINE AND
THEN REMOVE THE DEBRIS.
WARNING
BEFORE STARTING UP THE ENGINE, MAKE
SURE THAT THE CUTTER BLADE IS NOT
CONTACTING ANYTHING.
WHEN TWO OR MORE OPERATORS ARE
WORKING TOGETHER, ENSURE THAT A
SAFE DISTANCE IS KEPT BETWEEN
THEM.
