OPERATION
TRIMMING (See Fig. 25)
WARNING
The engine housing can become hot when the trimmer is being used. Do not make contact with this
part of the tool during use and whilst it is still hot. When holding the trimmer, ensure all body parts are
clear of the engine housing. Contact with this part can result in burns or other serious injuries.
WARNING
Always position the trimmer on your right side in order to reduce exposure to hot surfaces which can
cause possible serious injuries.
WARNING
Keep the bottom of the engine below waist level during operation to avoid burns from hot surfaces.
■ 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 (Fig. 25).
■ 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.
