STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Release the acceleration trigger and allow the
engine to slow down for a few seconds.
2. Move the switch to the "STOP" position.
NOTE: if the throttle lever is tightened or locked
in its middle position, the engine will not start.
Check that the throttle lever is in the fully closed
position.
IMPORTANT: never stop the engine when it
is running at full speed, the engine may deterio-
rate prematurely. Reduce the engine speed by 1
minute at minimum idle speed before shutting
down.

OPERATING THE TRIMMER

WARNING: always place the motor head to
your right side. If you place the trimmer motor
on your left side, you will be exposed to the mo-
tor heat and muffler outlet, this can cause pos-
sible serious injury.
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the
rear handle and the left hand on the front "D"
handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while
in operation. Trimmer should be held at a com-
fortable position with the rear handle about hip
height.
Always operate trim-
mer at full throttle.
Cut tall grass from the
top down.
This will prevent grass
from wrapping around
the drive shaft housing
and string head which
may cause damage
from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string
head, stop the engine, disconnect the spark
plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cut-
ting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping
from the muffler.
WARNING: in addition to head, eye, face and
ear protectors, wear shoes to protect your feet
and improve your balance on slippery surfaces.
Do not wear ties, jewelry or loose clothing that
can be caught by moving parts of the machine.
· Do not wear open footwear, or be barefoot or
with bare legs.
· In certain situations you should use full protec-
tion for the face and head.
· Pay attention not to back off and push the
blade.

SAFETY HARNESS

1. Mount and adjust the shoulder harness and
belt.
2. Adjust the shoulder harness button, and
move the hook to your waist, then adjust the
belt (if there is a belt).
3. Engage the harness latch on the handle.
WARNING: the hook is located on the right
hip and the quick release latch is located on the
outside.
4. If the trimmer does not balance, adjust the
harness hook and handle until it is balanced.
5. To quickly disassemble the harness trimmer,
pull the quick release latch upwards;
6. Insert the tongue of the clip into the slot of
the quick-release latch to replace the trimmer
in the harness.
WARNING: before using, check the shoulder
harness and confirm that it is okay.
In case of danger, stop the trimmer immediately
and pull the quick release latch; the trimmer will
separate from your body.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE USE OF THE
TRIMMER
• Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being
cut; This is the best cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when the unit is passed from
right to left. In this way the release of waste to-
wards the operator is avoided. Avoid cutting in
the dangerous area which is closest to the pro-
tective guard.
• Use the tip of the thread to make the cut; Do
not force the thread head towards the uncut
grass.
• Wire and stakes fences cause additional thread
wear, including breakage, as well as stone and
brick walls, cords and wood can quickly drain yarn.
• Avoid touching trees and shrubs. Tree bark,
wood trim, wall coverings and fence posts can
easily be damaged by the thread.
BLADE ON TRIMMER GUARD
This trimmer is equipped
with a cutting blade of
wire installed in the protec-
tive guard. For best results
in trimming, advance the
thread until the blade cuts
it to the proper length.
NOTE: advance the thread whenever you hear
that the motor is running faster than normal, or
when the cutting efficiency decreases. This will
maintain a better performance and keep the
thread at a sufficient length to advance prop-
erly.
