The operation of any trimmer can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your trimmer or perform- ing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses. The safety goggles provided with your trimmer may be worn over spec- tacles.

HOWTO USEYOURTRIMMER

ENGINE SPEED

The engine speed is controlled by a throttle located on the side of the upper handle. Fast position is for starting and normal trimming. Slow is for light trimming and fuel economy. Stop is for stopping the engine.

TRIMMER HEAD DRIVE CONTROL

Your trimmer is equipped with a trimmer head drive control bar and lever which

requires the operator to be positioned behind the trimmer handle to operate the trimmer.

Trimmer head rotation is controlled by holding the trimmer head control bar down to the handle and pushing the drive control lever forward until it clicks; then release the lever.

Trimmer head rotation will stop when the control bar is released.
