Protected Choke Lever/Knob

The choke is protected to help prevent damage.

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 or Enclosed Control Cables

Dangling and loose wires are eliminated.

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.

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.

TapAction™ AUTOCUT® Cutting Head

TapAction™ allows users to adjust the line length simply by tapping the cutting head against the ground.

Throttle Trigger Interlock

This safety feature must be depressed before the trigger can be activated.

Upright Translucent Fuel Tank

Easily check the fuel level before starting work. If fuel is needed, the upright position makes the tank easier to fill.
