Fiskars SmartPower Propane 4-cycle Trimmer
Bruce has the Fiskars SmartPower Propane 4-cycle Trimmer still in the box in the garage. He is NOT opening it yet as he will be wanting to use it. He is getting itchy fingers but it is definitely TOO early to start trimming anything!
Review to follow when the weather is better!

The trimmer must be stored in the horizontal position once the SAE 10W30 oil is added to the engine. You need to read the manual.
I have just assembled the Fiskars Smart Power Weed Trimmer / Line Trimmer you should follow the instructions even though you will only need a Philips screwdriver for the five bolts, two nuts and two screws. The hardest part I found was the two screws to secure the handle. This was only because a second person holding it would be helpful. I can hardly wait to pull that cord. Buurrrrrrrrrrrrrrroom!
