Features
TapAction™ AUTOCUT® Cutting Head
TapAction™ allows users to adjust the line length simply by tapping the cutting head against the ground.
Loop Handle (R)
Loop handle grass trimmers and brushcutters are ideal for trimming between bushes and shrubs and other areas where space is limited.
Multi-Function Control Handle
Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle makes it easy to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
Simplified Starting Procedure
To get started, users simply pump the fuel primer, set the choke, and pull the starter cord. The built-in stop switch allows the user to turn off the engine with a simple press of the button. When the engine is off, the throttle lock automatically returns to the "start" setting. The tool will be ready to start again when the user is ready to get back to work.
Air Filter Cover
Easily remove the cover for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.
Protected or Enclosed Control Cables
Dangling and loose wires are eliminated.
Protected Spark Arrestor Muffler
Large baffles reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
Protected Spark Plug
The spark plug is protected yet easy to change.
Protected Choke Lever/Knob

High-Tech Polymer Housing

Purge Pump Primer
By pressing the bulb, this small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburetor, reducing the number of starting pulls needed after an extended break between uses.
