* Set the throttle
control
in the fast posi-
tion. If the weeds
or grass are tall and
thick, operate
the trimmer
at a slower
walking
speed.
Frequently
clean the underside
of the
trimmer
to remove
any grass
build up.
Keep top of engine
around
starter
clear
and clean
of grass clippings
and chaff.
This will help engine
air flow and extend
engine
life. See "TO REMOVE
ENGINE
COVER"
in the Maintenance
section
of
this manual.
For best results
and longer
lasting
line, use the ends of the line to do the
cutting.
This is easily
done by moving
slowly
through
very thick and heavy
weeds.
Use the left side of trimmer
when trim-
ming along fences,
walls, fiowerbeds
and other such objects.
If trimmer
lines become
too short,
it will
take longer
to complete
the job. If trim-
mer lines are worn
to less than half their
original
length,
they should
be replaced.
See "TO REPLACE
TRIMMER
LINE" in
the Maintenance
section
of this manual.
