OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Vnien using the blade, bring the engine to fuU
throttle before entering the material to be cut. The
Blade has maximum cutting power at full throttle
and is less likely to bind, stall, or cause blade thrust,
which can result in serious injury to the operator or
others. Refer to “Guard Against Blade Thrust”.
• 'When using the trimmer head, do not run the en­
gine at a higher speed than necessary. The cutting
line will cut efficiently when the engine is run at less
than full throttle. At lower speeds, there is less en­
gine noise and vibration. The cutting line will last
longer and will be less hkeiy to “weld” onto the spool.
• If the blade or trimmer head does Hot turn
when the en^ne is accelerated, make sure the
drive shaft housing is properly seated in the engine
shroud. Refer to “Assembly Steps—Tube.”
• Always release throttle tri^er and allow en­
gine to return to idle speed when not cutting.
• The blade or trimmer head should not turn
when the engine runs at idle speed. If the blade
or tximmer head turns when the engine is at idle
speed, refer to the “Trouble Shooting Chart.”
• To stop engine;
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Move ^piition switch to the “Off” position.
