WARNING:
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure to be in the
starting position when pulling the starter rope (Fig. 8). To avoid serious
injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position while starting.
NOTE:
This unit has the Incredi-
Pull™ starting system,
which significantly
reduces the effort
required to pull the
starter rope.

HOLDING THE UNIT
WARNING:
to reduce the risk of injury when operating this unit.
Before operating the unit, stand in
the operating position (Fig. 9).
Check for the following:
• The operator is wearing eye
protection and proper clothing
• With a slightly-bent right arm,
the operator's hand is holding
the shaft grip
• The operator's left arm is
straight, the left hand holding
the D-handle
• The unit is at waist level
• The cutting head is parallel to
the ground and easily contacts the grass without the need to bend over
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
• Keep the cutting head parallel to the ground.
• Do not force the cutting head. Allow the tip of the line to do the cutting,
especially along walls. Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting
efficiency and may overload the engine.
• Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from top to bottom in small
increments to avoid premature line wear or engine drag.
• Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left improves the
unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are thrown away from the operator.
• Slowly move the unit into and out of the cutting area at the desired height.
Move either in a forward-backward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter
lengths produces the best results.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
• The life of the cutting line is dependent upon:
• Following the trimming techniques
• What vegetation is being cut
• Where vegetation is cut
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation
wall as opposed to trimming around a tree.
