(Figure 10) TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before operating your unit, review ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS in this manual. STOPPING THE ENGINE WARNING / CAUTION • • IF UNFAMILIAR WITH TRIMMING techniques, practice the procedures with ENGINE in “OFF” position. Striking objects can cause serious injury to operator or bystanders and also damage equipment. If an object is accidentally hit, immediately TURN ENGINE OFF and examine equipment. DO NOT operate unit with other people or animals in the immediate vicinity. Allow a minimum of 50 feet (15 meters) between operator and other people and animals when trimming. Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the illustrations, with one hand on the body handle and one hand on the front handle. A wide, sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth through the twigs is most effective. A slight downward tilt of the blade, in the direction of motion gives the best cutting. To obtain exceptionally level hedges, a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide. IDLING/CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT 1. Occassionally, due to atmospheric conditions such as altitude it might be necessary to make slight adjustment to idle speed. Turn 1/8 turn clockwise to increase idle speed and 1/8 turn counterclockwise to decrease idle speed. Fig. 9 Do not use the trimmer for cutting stems greater than 3/4”. Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery found around houses and buildings. 10 11 STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS WARM ENGINE START 1.
