More Benefits of Tanaka String Trimmers

1. Easy setup out of the box

2. Easy start-up

3. Low-emission engine with S-Start

Whether you're cutting back grass, weeds, or brush, a trimmer can only perform as well as the engine behind it. This Tanaka trimmer's 21 cc commercial-grade engine features PureFire low-emission two-stroke technology. Fewer fumes mean safer operation and less environmental impact.

In addition, the engine features the S-Start system. This starting system reduces the amount of force necessary for pull starting, which reduces the amount of stress placed on your body.

4. Additional string is easy to release

Semi-Automatic cutting head dispenses line as you need it. The 4-inch head can hold up to 13 feet of .095-inch co-polymer cutting line, and it delivers a cutting swath of 17 inches.

The head is positioned at the end of a straight 60-inch solid steel drive shaft, which makes it easy for you to trim in tight spaces.

This Tanaka trimmer can also be used with a blade and a conversion kit (not included) for trimming back tough, brushy overgrowth.

5. Lightweight, Anti-Vibration Design for User Comfort

Lightweight and anti-vibration for user comfort: The trimmer weighs 9.7 pounds. Its lightweight design aims to reduce operator fatigue and improve maneuverability. The trimmer also features an anti-vibration system and convenient D-style front handle for additional comfort.

Trigger is well placed—nice and  big—allows for easy modulation of throttle.

Handle allows you to orient the trimmer at almost any angle (walkways, trimming on inclines, declines, straight on).

6. Warranty Information

This Tanaka straight shaft grass trimmer and brush cutter is backed by a seven-year consumer warranty. When used in non-rental commercial applications, the trimmer is covered by a two-year warranty. When used in rental applications, it is covered by a one-year warranty.
