OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WITH TRIMMER HEAD

Before trimming, bring engine to a speed suffi- cient to cut material to be trimmed.

Do not run engine at a higher speed than nec- essary. The cutting line will cut efficiently when the engine is run at less than full throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will be less likely to “weld” onto the spool. If trimmer head does not turn when the engine is in operation, make sure the tube is properly seated in engine shroud.

Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.

To stop engine:

SMove the ON/OFF switch to OFF.

SIf engine does not stop, move choke to the FULL CHOKE position.

ADVANCING THE TRIMMER LINE

Advance line by tapping the bottom of the cut- ting head lightly on the ground while engine is running at full speed. The line limiter blade (on underside of shield) will cut the line to the proper length.

WARNING: Use only 0.080” (2 mm) diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad- vance properly and 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.
