Once upon a time, starting gasoline-powered outdoor power equipment could be more intimidating than actually doing the job. The Easy2Start™ system eliminates the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. Some models feature a simplified starting procedure that reduces the number of steps by almost half. Our trimmers and brushcutters are easy to use and ready when you are.
