UsingYourStringTrimmerMower
Once the engine is started, release the control lock
bracket on the upper right hand side of the handle
by pushing it to the right and squeeze the control
handle against upper handle to engage spindle
assembly.
The string trimmer mower is designed with a per-
manent off-set on the left side, in which the trimmer
line is off-set from the trimmer base. This allows the
operator to trim along a fence, landscaping, or a
house without having to make any adjustments to
the spindle assembly. Refer to Figure 4.
If the weeds or grass are tall and thick, operate the
string trimmer mower at a slower walking speed.
With the engine off and spark plug disconnected,
clean the underside of the trimmer before and after
each use to remove any grass or weed build up.
If the trimmer lines become too short, approxi-
mately half the original length, or worn, it will take
longer to complete the job. To change to a new
trimmer line see MAINTAINING YOUR STRING
TRIMMER MOWER.
Do not trim on excessively steep slopes. If a slope
is difficult to stand on, do not trim. Do not trim on
slopes when the ground is slippery or wet. Trim
across the face of a slope, not up and down.
Avoid spindle assembly contact to concrete,
asphalt, or gravel.
SECTION6: MAKINGADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: Do not at any time make any
adjustments without first stopping engine
and disconnecting spark plug wire.
HandleAdjustment
To adjust position of the upper handle proceed as
follows:
Loosen each wing nut, so the carriage bolts are
unseated from the handle and the handle
connectors are slightly separated from each other.
The lower handle connector has three marked lines
on the top and the upper handle connector has one
marked line. See.
To raise the upper handle, move the upper handle
forward to match the single marked line with the
front marked line on the lower handle connector.
To lower the upper handle, move the upper handle
rearward to match the single marked line with the
rear marked line on the lower handle connector.
