TRIMMER INSTRUCTIONS
TO STOP ENGINE
Release throttle trigger. Let engine return to
idle. Push and hold ignition stop switch until
engine stops.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE WITH TRIMMER HEAD
WARNING:
Always wear eye
protection. Never lean over the trimmer
head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be
thrown into eyes and face and cause
blindness or other serious injury.
Before trimming, bring engine to a speed
sufficient to cut material to be trimmed.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed than
necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently
when the engine is running at less than full
throttle. At lower speed, there is less engine
noise and vibration. The cutting line will last
longer and will be less likely to “weld” onto
the spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to return to idle speed when not
cutting.
To stop engine:
- Release the throttle trigger.
- Push and hold the ON/STOP switch in the
STOP position until the engine stops.
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE
Advance line by tapping the bottom of the
cutting head lightly on the ground while engine
is running at full speed. The metal line limiter
blade attached to the guard will cut the line to
the proper length.
WARNING: Use only 2,4 mm diameter
line. Other sizes of line will not advance
properly and will result in improper cutting head
function or can cause serious injury. Do not use
other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc.
Wire can break off during cutting and become a
dangerous missile that can cause serious
injury.
CUTTING METHODS
WARNING:
Use minimum speed and
do not crowd the line when cutting around
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),
which can damage the trimmer head,
become entangled in the line, or be thrown
causing a serious hazard.
- The tip of the line does the cutting. You will
achieve the best performance and
minimum line wear by not crowding the
line into the cutting area. The right and
wrong ways are shown below.
Line crowded into
work area. Tip of line does
the cutting.
Right Wrong
- The line will easily remove grass and
weeds from around walls, fences, trees
and flower beds, but it also can cut the
tender bark of trees or shrubs and scar
fences.
- For trimming or scalping, use less than
full throttle to increase line life and
decrease head wear, especially:
- During light duty cutting.
- Near objects around which the line can
wrap such as small posts, trees or fence
wire.
- For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle
for a good clean job.
TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer
head about 8 cm above the ground and at
an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to
make contact. Do not force trimmer line into
work area.
Trimming
8 cm above
ground
SCALPING - The scalping technique
removes unwanted vegetation down to the
ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head
about 8 cm above the ground and at an
angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the
ground around trees, posts, monuments,
etc. This technique increases line wear.

5. If engine does not start, place choke in RUN
“ ” position and pull starter rope 5 more
times. If engine still does not start it is
probably flooded. Wait 5 minutes and repeat
procedure with choke in RUN “ ” position
and throttle full open.
