7. TRIMMING OPERATION
Read and understand the safety instructions on pages 3 to 14 before operating
the grass/weed trimmer.
If you notice any abnormal sound, smell, vibration, or other unusual signs, stop
the engine immediately and consult your authorized Honda dealer.
Shouldering the grass/weed trimmer:
Before shouldering the grass/weed trimmer, start the engine according to the
proper procedures (see page 34) and warm up the engine. Be sure to check that
the idling rotation becomes stable and the cutting attachment (nylon-line
cutting head or cutting blade) does not turn.
Shoulder the grass/weed trimmer according to the procedures described below.
Note that the following procedures are for a righthand side use.
This grass/weed trimmer is able to change engine mounting direction. Consult
your authorized Honda dealer.
When you shoulder the grass/weed trimmer, be careful not to touch the
throttle trigger without your intention. If the throttle trigger is pulled
accidentally, the engine speed increases and the cutting attachment may
start turning, which cause injury. When the wheeling cutting attachment
touches the ground, the grass/weed trimmer may go out of control causing
injury.
