cient to cut material to be trimmed.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed than
necessary . 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 l ast longer andwill
be less likely to “weld ” onto the spoo l.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to return to idle speed when not
cutting.
To stop engine:
