Troubleshooting; Trimming Tips - Swisher STD67522BS Owner's Manual

If engine will not start, remove and check air filter to make sure filter and
•
carburetor are clean.
• Do not lift the trimmer head when trimming. Let the head rest lightly touching the ground.
• Keep an eye on the length of the trimmer line. As the line gets shorter they become less
effective at cutting and will take longer to trim properly. Replace the line as necessary
(see Installing Trimmer Line).
• Do not trim wet grass.
• Use caution when trimming slopes.
• Use the proper length of line. Using a line too long for the
unit will cause stalling and unacceptable operation.
The Trim-Max trimmer is designed to also be used as an edge trimmer and to offset left
to right for easier close trimming.
Edge Trimming/Bevel Cutting
The trimmer disk may be tilted from horizontal to vertical so that it may be used as an
edge trimmer. The head may also be tilted slightly to trim closer. This may be handy for
trimming foundations without damaging the siding.
To Tilt:
1. Stop unit.
2. Make sure head is in the straight forward position (see Offset Trimming).
3. Loosen the trimmer tilt clamp lever (clockwise).
4. Tilt head to desired position.
5. Tighten trimmer tilt clamp lever (counter-clockwise).
6. Adjust lower trimmer shield to keep debris from coming back at operator.
Offset Trimming:
The trimmer head may be offset to the left or right to allow trimming under bushes, etc.
To Offset:
1. Stop unit.
2. Raise offset lever.
3. Push or pull handles to achieve desired offset.
4. Release offset lever. Make sure head has locked into position.
5. Adjust lower trimmer shield to keep debris from coming back at operator.
Important!
Note direction of debris when offsetting head. Offsetting
trimmer to the left is recommended.
