In

A

To
obtain
optimum
engine
operation
and
to
protect
your
health
and
the
environment,
only
unleaded
fuel
should
be
used!
For

Thoroughly
Shake
the
mixture

tank
It
is
not
wise
to
add
more

than
specified
to
ensure
safe
operation.
This
will
only
result
in
a

which
will
poliute

and
clog
the

as
well
as

In
addition,
the
fuel
consumption
will
rise
and
the
performance
will
decrease.
The engine must be switched off!
*
Thoroughly
clean
the
area
around
the

from
getting

Nylon cutting head
The nylon cutting head is a dual grass trimmer head capable of both
automatic and bump & feed mechanisms.
The nylon cutting head will automatically feed out the proper length
of nylon cord by the changes in centrifugal force caused by
increasing or decreasing rpms. However, to cut soft grass more effi
ciently, bump the nylon cutting head against the ground to feed out
extra cord as indicated under operation section.
Operation
- Increase the nylon cutting head speed to approx. 6.000 rpm. Low
speed (under 4,800 rpm) is not suitable, the nylon cord wilt not
feed out properly at low speed
-
The

cutting
area
