How To Keep a Weed Trimmer Running
- 1). Hold the weed trimmer by the loop handle on the pole, and pull the start cord until the motor starts. You may have to pull the cord a few times before the motor starts running.
- 2). Adjust the choke lever on the side of the motor, if available, or press the choke button. The choke should be adjusted to an open position to allow the weed trimmer to run at an idle rpm.
- 3). Depress the trigger to run the weed trimmer, and hold it in position to keep the trimming head spinning. With the choke adjusted to an open position, you can release the trigger and the motor will still be running idle.
