HOW TO START YOUR UNIT STARTING A WARM ENGINE 1. Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position. 2. Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger. Keep throttle trigger fully squeezed until the engine runs smoothly. 3. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs, but no more than 5 pulls. 4. Allow engine to run 15 seconds, then move the choke lever to the OFF CHOKE position. NOTE: If engine has not started, pull starter rope 5 more pulls.

Before trimming, bring engine to a speed sufficient to cut material to be trimmed. Do not run the engine at a higher speed than necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently when the engine is run at less than full throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will be less likely to “weld” onto the spool. Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.
SWEEPING -- The fanning action of the rotating line can be used to blow away loose debris from an area. Keep the line parallel to and above the area surface and swing the tool from side to side.
