The operation of any cutter can encounter foreign objects to be thrown into the eyes, resulting in
severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-vision safety goggles for over
spectacles before staring any cutting machine and while operating such a machine.
The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear. Ear
protection is recommended.

are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.

Preparing Unit For First Use
Operation
Trimming Hints
Important! To ensure proper operation, clean the engine and trimmer
regularly. Remove any build up of chaff from the top of the engine.
• Fill engine crankcase with oil. A bottle has been provided with this unit. DO
NOT OVERFILL.
• Fill the engine fuel tank with gasoline. GASOLINE SHOULD BE ADDED
OUTSIDE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
• Check to ensure string has been installed properly. A diagram is provided just
above the wheel for proper installation.
• Do not lift the trimmer head when trimming. Let the head rest lightly touching the ground.
• Keep an eye on the length of the trimmer line. As the line gets shorter they become less
effective at cutting and will take longer to trim properly. Replace the line as necessary. (See
installing cutter line).
• Do not trim wet grass.
• Use caution when trimming slopes.
• Use the proper length on line. Using a line too long for the unit will cause stalling and
unacceptable operation.
Troubleshooting
•If engine will not start, remove and check air filter to make sure filter and
carburetor are clean.

• Make sure head is in the straight forward position. (see offset operation)
• Loosen the trimmer tilt clamp lever. (Clockwise)
• Tilt head to desired position.
• Tighten trimmer tilt clamp lever. (Counter Clockwise)
• Adjust Lower trimmer shield to keep debris from coming back at operator.
Offset trimming.
The trimmer head may be offset to the left or right to allow trimming under bushes, etc.
To Offset:
• Stop unit.
• Raise offset lever.
• Push or pull handles to achieve desired offset.
• Release offset lever. Make sure head has locked into position.
• Adjust lower trimmer shield to keep debris from coming back at operator.
Important! Note direction of debris when offsetting head.
Offsetting trimmer to the left is recommended.
