Operating the Trimmer

Operating the trimmer differs, depending on whether you are
using the curved shaft trimmer or the straight shaft trimmer.
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
trimmers as shown in Figure 9 and 10 with all
body parts clear of engine housing. Extended
contact with the engine housing can result in
burns or other injuries.

Always position the unit on the operator's right
