OPERATING THE TRIMMER

See page 17.

■

Hold the product with the right hand on the rear handle

and the left hand on the front handle.

■

Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.

Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the

trigger handle about hip height.

■

Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass

from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping

around the shaft housing and bump head which may

cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes

wrapped around the bump head, stop the engine, wait

for all moving parts to stop, and remove the grass.

Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant

dripping from the silencer.

■

Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position

yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the

kick-back reaction.

When cutting, make sure the cutter head is at a slight angle

while still approximately parallel to the ground surface. In

tall grass, cut from the top down to ensure the moving parts

do not get tangled with the long grass.

ADVANCING THE LINE

See page 18, step 2.

If the line becomes short, tap the bump head on the ground

as shown at full throttle. More line will extend. Take care

not to bump the head on a hard surface such as concrete

or pavers as this may cause damage to the bump head.

WARNING

When servicing, use only original manufacturer's

replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a

hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side

shields during product operation. If operation is dusty,

also wear a dust mask.

WARNING

Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the product,

shut off the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious

personal injury or property damage.

WARNING

Neglected or poorly conducted maintenance may create

additional hazards. Do not attempt to repair or maintain

the product if you are not qualified to do so. If in doubt,

return to a service centre for professional assistance.
