A
Control Identification and Use:
WARNING
Thoroughly inspect the area where the Trimmer is to be used and remove all foreign objects . Your equipment can throw
small objects at high speed causing personal injury or property damage .
Keep all children and bystanders at least 50 ft (15 m) away when operating . Stop machine if anyone enters the area .
1. Throttle:
The throttle is located on the top crossbar on the
upper handle . Depressing the lever will increase the
engine speed . At idle speed the clutch is disengaged
and the trimmer head will not turn . As engine speed
is increased, the automatic clutch will engage and
rotate the trimmer head . Upon release, the throttle
lever is spring loaded to return to idle speed . (Fig . 14)
2. Swivel to offset trimmer head:
Your wheeled string trimmer mower is designed
with the ability to offset the trimming head from
a centered position to a right side position . This
is accomplished by depressing the finger control
on the right upper handle . By depressing the finger
control, the head becomes unlocked and can be
swiveled to two positions to the right . Upon release
of the finger control, a pin will lock the trimmer head
into the desired position . Swiveling the trimmer head
allows for easy mowing / trimming around obstacles
such as posts or trees and under fences . (Fig . 15)
3. Bevel trimming adjustment:
The line will normally cut approximate 2 inches
(50 mm) high . When it is desired that the line cut
closer to the ground, a bevel adjustment is available .
A handle is located just in front of the left wheel . This
handle can be deflected outward and rotated to two
different positions . This will position the trimmer head
at an angle and allow the line to cut closer to the
ground . This is especially useful when trimming next
to raised sidewalks or building foundations . (Fig . 16)
4. Start / Stop switch:
An ignition switch is located on the engine air filter
housing . The switch must be in the "On" position
for the engine to run . Moving the switch to the "Off"
position will stop the engine . (Fig . 17)

Recommendations:
1 . Your Trimmer performs best when the engine
operates at high speed and the tips of the line cut the
vegetation . Do not force the trimmer line into grass
faster than the Trimmer's cutting speed permits.
2 . The tips of the line can cause damage to trees, shrubs
and fences . To avoid damage in these conditions, you
may choose to run the engine at lower speeds and
should carefully monitor the location of the cutting line .

3 . Because the cutting head can be pivoted to the right
side, plan to trim objects (fences, buildings, etc .)
in a clockwise manner .
4 . When trimming next to wire type fencing, avoid
cutting-line contact with the fence . Contact will
result in rapid line wear . Likewise, contact with
concrete and brick surfaces will result in rapid
line wear .
