STARTING AND STOPPING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 7.

OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 8.
Follow these steps to operate the trimmer.
Plug the trimmer cord into an extension cord approved
for outdoor use. Refer to “Electrical Safety Rules ”
earlier in this manual.
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the trigger
handle and your left hand on the front handle.
NOTE: Keep a firm grip with both hands during opera-
tion.
Place the trimmer on the right side of your body with the
engine behind and away from your body.
Press the trigger to start the trimmer.
Trim grass and weeds in a right-to-left motion with the
line parallel to the ground.
CUTTING TIPS
Inspect and clear the area to be trimmed for any rocks,
broken glass, or wire that could be thrown or become
entangled in the cutting line.
Trim only when grass or weeds are dry.
Keep the cutting line parallel to the ground.
Cut grass or weeds over eight inches tall from the top
to the bottom in small amounts. This will prevent grass
becoming wrapped around the trimmer head assem-
bly, which may result in damage due to overheating. If
grass becomes wrapped around the trimmer head
assembly, stop the trimmer, unplug it, and remove the
grass.
Move the trimmer slowly in and out of the area you are
cutting, keeping the trimmer at the desired cutting
height.
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting. Do not force the
trimmer head assembly into uncut grass.
Feed out some line after each use to prevent the line
from retracting into the cutting head.
