OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 4.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection when operating this equipment. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Never use blades, flailing devices, wire, or rope on this product. Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.
Before each use, inspect the entire product for damaged, missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts, caps, etc. Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and do not operate this product until all missing or damaged parts are replaced. Please call 1-800-860-4050 or contact an authorized service center for assistance.
WARNING:
Engine housing may become hot during trimmer opera­tion. Do not rest or place your arm, hand, or any body part against the engine housing during trimmer operation. Only hold the trimmer as shown in Figure 4 with all body parts clear of engine housing. Extended contact with the engine housing may result in burns or other injuries.
WARNING:
Always position the unit on the operator’s right side. The use of the unit on the operator’s left side will expose the operator to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn injury.
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with the bottom of the engine above waist level.
6 — English
OPERATION
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.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from your body, keep­ing clearance between your body and the product. Any contact with the housing or string trimmer cutting head can result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 5.
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from
your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 4.)
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from
right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 5.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even break-
age. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
ADVANCING STRING USING THE REEL-EASY™ TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM
String advance is controlled by tapping the string head’s spool retainer on grass while running engine at full throttle.
Run engine at full throttle. Tap string head on ground to advance string. String
advances each time the head is tapped.
Several taps may be required until string strikes the cut
off blade.
Resume trimming. NOTE: If the string is worn too short you may not be able to
advance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and manually advance the string.
ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY
With the engine off and the spark plug wire disconnected, push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string.
CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 6.
This trimmer is equipped with a cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance string by tapping the string head until the string is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance string whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep string long enough to advance properly.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shiels marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection when operating this equipment. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
7 — English
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
