shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in pos-
sible serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recom-
mended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of at-
tachments or accessories not recommended can result

STARTING/STOPPING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 5 - 6.

Attach the outlet end of an extension cord to the plug on
the rear of the string trimmer.
NOTE: Use only approved outdoor extension cords.

Route the extension cord through the right side of the
loop located on the rear of the string trimmer housing
and place underneath the cord retainer.

To start the string trimmer, press the lock out button and
then depress switch trigger.

To stop the string trimmer, release the switch trigger.
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 7.
Follow these tips when using the string trimmer:

Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle.

Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.

Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the
rear handle about hip height.

Always operate trimmer at full throttle.

Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the shaft housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:

Stop the engine.

Unplug the string trimmer.

Remove the grass.
