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
comfortable 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 lubricant dripping from the muffler.
