the engine starts.
NOTE: If the engine does not start, repeat the
procedure from step 5. Do not repeat the procedure
more than 1 time. If the engine does not start after
the second attempt, see the solution instruction for the
"Flooded engine" in the "Troubleshooting" section of
this manual.
To stop the engine:
See fi gure 20.
Place the ignition switch to the "O" (OFF) position.
OPERATING THE GRASS TRIMMER
See fi gure 11.
■ Hold the product with the right hand on the trigger
handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a
firm grip with both hands while in operation.
■ The product should be held at a comfortable position
with the trigger handle about hip height.
■ Always operate the product at full throttle. Prolonged
cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping
from the silencer.
■ Cut tall grass from the top down to prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head,
which may cause damage from overheating.
■ If grass or debris becomes wrapped around the cutting
means, stop the engine. Wear heavy-duty gloves to
prevent injury from the sharp blades and carefully
remove the debris.
CUTTING TIPS
See fi gure 12.
■ Do not push into the grass to be cut. Move from side
to side. Move forward a little at the end of each sweep.
■ Keep the product tilted towards the area being cut.
■ Do not use in dangerous environments.
■ Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
the string head into the uncut grass.
■ Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, kerbs and wood may
wear string rapidly.
■ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings,
cladding and fence posts can be easily damaged by
the string.
ADVANCING THE LINE
Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on
grass while running engine at full throttle.
■ Run engine at full throttle.

Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with the
product. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur when
the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This
contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and
suddenly "thrust" the unit away from the object that was
hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the product. Blade thrust may
occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds.
This is more likely to occur in areas where it is diffi cult to
see the material being cut. For cutting ease and safety,
approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left.
In the event an unexpected object or woody stock is
encountered, this could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
TRI-ARC™ BLADE
The Tri-Arc™ blade is suitable for cutting pulpy weeds and
vines only. When the Tri-Arc™ blade becomes dull, it can
be turned over to extend its life. Do not sharpen the blade.
SAW BLADE
The saw blade is suitable for cutting pulpy weeds, vines,
bushes, and small trees. Worn saw blades can cause
poor performance. Check the saw blade before each use.
Replace the worn or damaged blade immediately.
