Very Dry Conditions
Frequently remove debris from the recoil guard on top of the engine and the cooling fins on the front of the engine to prevent
overheating and engine damage.
When trimming and mowing in very dry conditions, be extra cautious of cut grass, chaff, weeds, seeds, etc., accumulating on the
Engine, especially around the Recoil-Starter Housing and Engine Cooling Fins. Please see the Engine Owner's Manual for more
detailed information on cleaning the Air Intake, Air Filter, and Cooling System on the Engine.
Slopes
Make sure of your footing when operating on slopes.
You can trim and mow on slopes up to 20 degrees. Continuous use on slopes steeper than 20 degrees may deprive the Engine of
adequate lubrication, and damage components.
Windrows
The TRIMMER/MOWER Cutting Cords cut even tall grass in just one pass, so you can collect clippings and leaves for mulch
without raking. The machine ejects cut material to its right side, so you can use it like a lawn broom to make windrows for easy
clean-up.
Firebreaks
Use your Trimmer as a labor saving tool to cut material when creating firebreaks.
Garden Clean-Up
The TRIMMER/MOWER is perfect for cutting down dead perennials, annuals, and wildflowers, saving you hours of hand pruning
and deadheading. You can also re-cut downed material a second time to create mulch for garden beds.

TRIMMER/MOWER
Wet Conditions
Make sure of your footing when operating in wet conditions.
Because there is no housing to restrict the flow of cut material, you can also use
your TRIMMER/MOWER to mow wet or heavy growth. You can use the
TRIMMER/MOWER in damp conditions, after a rain, or in the early morning
dew without clogging or stalling. You can also mow wet areas such as ditches
and around ponds (Figure 22).
Note: NEVER mow in the rain. Water on the Spark Plug may cause the Engine to
stall.
