7) Move the choke lever to the open position. And pull out the starter rope quickly to restart
engine.
8) Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before starting operation.
NOTE
1) When restarting the engine immediately after stopping it, leave the choke open.
2) Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due to excess fuel. When the engine failed to
start after several attempts, open the choke and repeat pulling the rope, or remove the spark
plug and dry it.
Stopping engine
1) Release the throttle lever and run the engine for a half minute.
2)
Shift the ignition switch to the STOP position. (OP3)
NOTE: Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine while pulling the throttle lever.
Trimmer head usage
WARNING
1) Always wear eye protection. Never lean over the rotating cutting head. Rocks or other debris
could be thrown into eyes and face and cause serious personal injury.
2) Keep the protection guard attached in place at all times when the unit is operated.
Trimming grass and weeds
Always remember that the TIP of the line does cutting. Allow the unit to trim at its own pace.
1) Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted about 20 degrees toward the sweep
direction.
2) You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your right to the left.
3) Use a slow, deliberate action to cut thick grass. The rate of cutting motion will depend on the
material being cut. Thick grass will require slower action.
4) Never swing the unit so hard as you are in danger of losing your balance or control of the unit.
5) Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather than placing the full workload on the arm
and hands.
6) Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead, dry, long-stem weeds from wrapping around the
head shaft. Such materials can stall the head and cause the clutch to slip, resulting in damage to
the clutch system if repeated frequently.
