OPERATION
■ Hold the grass trimmer firmly with both hands, keeping your right hand on the main handle and left
hand on the assist handle.
■ The trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle at waist level. If using the
shoulder strap (sold separately), put on the shoulder strap and refer to the Installing the Shoulder
Strap section (Fig. 33).
■ Keep your balance with your feet apart.
■ Always operate the trimmer in RUN position. When cutting long grass, work in stages from top to
bottom in small sections. This will prevent the grass being cut from wrapping around the shaft and
the spool head.
■ Hold the grass trimmer head at an angle of approximately 30° to the ground. Avoid pressing it
against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the product.
■ Stop the engine if the grass becomes wrapped around the trimmer head and remove the grass once
the cutting attachment has stopped rotating.
■ Extended use of the tool at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping from the muffler.
TRIMMING TIPS (See Figs. 33-34)
■ Keep the tool to the right side and away from your body to avoid making contact with the hot
surfaces (Fig. 33).
■ Keep the trimmer head lowered, towards the area being cut.
■ The straight shaft trimmer cuts best when moving the unit from left to right. Passing the tool in
this direction will reduce the amount of debris thrown towards the operator. Avoid cutting in the
dangerous area as shown (Fig. 34).
■ Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force the trimmer head into uncut grass.
■ The line can wear quickly and even break when used against solid surfaces such as fences,
borders, curbs and walls made of metal, wood, stone and brick. Avoid using the trimmer against
these materials.
