cutting tips
See Figure 13.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
TRANSPORTING THE UNIT
Turn on/stop switch OFF ( O ).
Make sure engine and exhaust are cool.
Keep unit level to prevent fuel spillage.
