8. Operation
■ STOPPING ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever and run the engine for
a half minute.
2. Shift the ignition switch to the STOP position.
• Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the
engine while pulling the throttle lever.
■ ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED (OP5)
1. When the engine tends stop frequently at idling
mode, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.

counter-clockwise.
(1) Idle adjustment screw
• Warm up the engine before adjusting the idling
speed.
■ LINE HEAD USAGE
1. Always wear eye protection such as safety
goggles. Never lean over the rotating cutting
head. Rocks or other debris could be thrown
into eyes and face and cause serious
personal injury.
2. Keep the debris guard attached in place at all
times when the unit is operated.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
• Always remember that the TIP of the line does
cutting. You will achieve better results by not
crowding the line into the cutting area. Allow the
unit to trim at its own pace.
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is
tilted about 20 degrees toward the sweep
direction. (OP6)
2. You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from
your right to the left.
