IF ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PRODUCT:
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 30 ft. (9 m) from refueling site before starting engine. Do not smoke!
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 8.
WARNING:
Always position the unit on the operator’s right side. The use of the unit on the operator’s left side will expose the user to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn injury.
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with the bottom of the engine above waist level.
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a com- fortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the muffler.
STARTING AND STOPPING
See Figures 8 - 9.
Trimmer should be on a flat, bare surface for starting.
nSlowly press the primer bulb seven (7) times.
nSet the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position (A).
nSqueeze the throttle trigger fully and pull starter handle sharply until engine attempts to run. Do not pull the starter handle more than eight (8) times.
NOTE: Keep throttle trigger squeezed fully.
