Wear the Right Gear
Trimmers throw small stones and debris. Wear safety glasses, sturdy shoes, and long pants. Ear protection helps with longer jobs.
Keep Your Trimmer Running Longer
- Use fresh fuel
- Clean the air filter
- Replace worn line and parts
- Store it clean and dry
A yearly tune-up helps your trimmer start on the first pull.
