Control Identification and Use:
WARNING
Thoroughly inspect the area where the Trimmer is to be used and remove all foreign objects . Your equipment can throw
small objects at high speed causing personal injury or property damage .
Keep all children and bystanders at least 50 ft (15 m) away when operating . Stop machine if anyone enters the area .
1. Throttle:
The throttle is located on the upper handle .
Depressing the lever will increase the engine speed .
At idle speed, the clutch is disengaged and the
trimmer head will not turn . As engine speed is
increased, the automatic clutch will engage and rotate
the trimmer head . Upon release, the throttle lever is
spring loaded to return to idle speed . (Fig . 11)
2. Start/Stop Switch:
An ignition switch is located on the engine shroud .
The switch must be in the "on" position for the engine
to run . Moving the switch to the "off" position will stop
the engine . (Fig . 12)

Recommendations:
1 . Your Trimmer performs best when the engine
operates at high speed and the tips of the line cut the
vegetation . Do not force the trimmer line into grass
faster than the Trimmer's cutting speed permits.
2 . The tips of the line can cause damage to trees, shrubs
and fences . To avoid damage in these conditions, you
may choose to run the engine at lower speeds and
should carefully monitor the location of the cutting line .

3 . Because of the direction of trimmer head rotation,
plan to trim objects (fences, buildings, etc .) in a
clockwise manner .
4 . When trimming next to wire type fencing, avoid
cutting-line contact with the fence . Contact will
result in rapid line wear . Likewise, contact with
concrete and brick surfaces will result in rapid
line wear .
