WARNING: Wear safety glasses during
operation. Wear proper clothing to
protect feet, legs, and other exposed body
parts.
Do not operate without all guards in place or in
the vicinity of bystanders or personal property.
The intended use of the EZ TrimMower is trimming, mowing,
and edging. It can be used as a mower or trimmer and edger after
mowing with a lawn mower.
WARNING: Inspect and clean engine
before each use. Debris accumulation
around the muffler can cause a fire.
To begin trimming, with the engine running, place the trimmer
head on the ground and begin walking slowly. The wheels
should remain grounded at all times to prevent undue pressure on
the trimmer head. The cutting radius is dependent on the amount
of cutting string used and type of application. For difficult
conditions and edging, using less than the full cutting radius is
recommended.
CAUTION: Use caution when operating near loose
gravel or areas where loose debris may be
encountered.
Trimming adjustments are used to edge and trim in hard to reach
places. To begin using trimming adjustments:
1. Loosen the right axle nut located on the bottom of the
trimmer directly behind the axle shaft.
2. Lift the right wheel and pull back. The wheel and axle will
rotate backwards due to a slot cut in the bottom of the
trimmer frame.
3. Tighten the nut loosened in Step 1.
4. Push the trimmer slowly.
