OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure .
WARNING:
Always position the unit on the operator’s right side. The
use of the unit on the operator’s left side will expose the
operator to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn
injury.
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with
the bottom of the engine above waist level.
OPERATION
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both
hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a com-
fortable position with the rear 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 string head which may cause damage from
overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string
head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire,
and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will
result in lubricant dripping from the muffler.
