Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip height. This will prevent grass from wrapping round the shaft housing and string head, which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped round the string head, stop the engine, disconnect the sparking plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the silencer. FILLING THE TANK 1. Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap. Keep sthe trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area. Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass. Tree bark, wood mouldings, cladding and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string. DANGEROUS CUTTING AREA Fig. [. . . ] With the throttle trigger fully depressed, pull starter cord three times with lever at "WARM START" position. If engine does not start, move choke lever to "COLD START" and follow normal starting instructions in "STARTING AND STOPPING" section. If engine still fails to start, repeat procedure with a new sparking plug. If "L" low needle can not be turned anticlockwise, do not force plastic limiter caps. [. . . ]
