OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring the engine
to cutting
speed before

the material
to be cut,
*
Do not
run the
engine
at a higher
speed
than
necessary.
The cutting line will cut effi-
ciently when the engine is run at less than full
throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise
and vibration.
The catting
line will last longer
and wilt be less likely to "weld" onto the spool.
