This lightweight trimmer was designed for users who want to avoid dealing with, or don’t have the arm strength, to start a two-cycle gasoline engine using a traditional pull cord. Ergonomics combined with engineering problem-solving resulted in a simple to pull, quick-starting system with distinct styling.
