HOLDING THE TRIMMER
WARNING: Always wear eye, hearing, foot
and body protection to reduce the risk of
injury when operating this unit.
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating
position. See Figure 9. Check for the following:
• The operator is wearing eye protection and proper
clothing
• With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s hand
is holding the shaft grip
• The operator’s left arm is straight, and the hand is
holding the D-Handle
• The unit is at waist level
• The cutting head is parallel to the ground and easily
contacts the vegetation without the need to bend
over
NOTE: Four-stroke engines, like cars, are able to
start in the idle position. As an alternate
method, you may want to start your unit in
the idle position when the unit is warm. With
the On/Off Stop Control in the START
position and the choke lever in the RUN (C)
position, pull the starter rope briskly.
When the engine starts, run at full throttle
for 30 seconds. If the unit fails to start or
dies, revert to the Engine Re-Start procedure
for warm engines.
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Release your hand from the throttle control. Allow
the engine to idle.
2. To stop the engine, put the On/Off Stop Control in
the STOP position. See Figure 6.
Engine Re-Start: Warm Engine With Fuel
1. Put the On/Off Stop Control in the START
position. See Figure 6.
2. Move the choke lever to the PARTIAL (B)
position. See Figure 7.
3. Squeeze the throttle control to the wide open
(full throttle) position.
4. With the unit in the starting position, pull the
starter rope briskly until the engine starts. See
Figure 8.
5. When the engine starts, move the choke lever to
the RUN (C) position, and run at full throttle
for 30 seconds, and up to one (1) minute in
temperatures below 40°F (4°C).
NOTE: If the engine does not start using the
Engine Re-start procedures, revert to the
Cold Start procedures.
