Background
The Craftsman Trimmer 316.711021 is a gardening tool that is produced by Sears Brands Management Corporation. This trimmer is powered by a 29cc air-cooled 2-cycle engine with a displacement of 1.52 cubic inches. It utilizes a Champion RDJ7J spark plug and operates on a fuel mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle oil at a ratio of 40:1. The fuel tank has a capacity of 10.02 fluid ounces, which approximately allows for 30 minutes of operation time. The product's weight ranges from 10 to 11 pounds, excluding the weight of fuel or cutting attachments.
The cutting component of the Craftsman Trimmer 316.711021 is a rotating cutting head that employs a 0.110-inch diameter spiral line. This line provides a cutting diameter of 14 inches. To operate the trimmer, the user must fill up the fuel tank with the correct fuel mixture, prime the engine, set the choke, and pull the starter rope. After the trimmer has been warmed up for about 30 seconds, it can be used to trim grass and weeds. The trimmer's shaft is made up of two pieces, allowing for the installation of optional tools such as edgers and brush cutters. The angle of the handle can be adjusted for the user's comfort.
