This trimmer operates on a 29 cc 2-cycle air-cooled engine and is designed with a cutting head that uses a 0.110 inch diameter nylon cutting line. The trimmer offers a cutting path diameter of 14 inches. A distinguishing characteristic of the trimmer is its adjustable assistance handle, which can be tailored according to the user's height and comfort.
The Craftsman 316.711190 trimmer features a unique line feed system incorporated into its cutting head, which allows the user to advance the line without having to bump the head. This cutting diameter is suitable for managing small to medium sized yards. The trimmer also employs a ConvertibleTM coupler system that enables it to operate at various angles.
