removed from the gearcase and boss adapter
before you start the engine.
2. The Trimmer must be on the operators right side.
3. The operators right hand should be holding the
shaft grip, with his or her fingers on the throttle
trigger. The right arm should be slightly bent.
4. The left hand should be holding the loop handle
with the fingers and thumb fully enclosed around
the grip. The left arm may be extended.
Reposition the loop handle up or down the
driveshaft if necessary for a comfortable position.
5. The trimmer weight should be evenly distributed
between the arms. The cutting attachment should
be near and parallel to the ground.
6. Accelerate and hold the engine at cutting speed

Cutting with Trimmer Head

stay extended while cutting.
Do not force the line into the material. Forcing the
line will cause it to slap against the material,
increasing line usage and causing poor cutting
results.
