data”.
S Sm aller machines general ly require small
trimmer heads and vice ver sa. This is be-
cause when cl earing usi ng trimmer line the
engine must throw out the trimmer line ra-
dially from the trimmer head and over come
the resistance of the grass being cleare d.

greater engine power than a shorter

been released. Ensurethat the
cutting attachment has stopped
completely and disconnect the
lead from the spark plug before
