Background

The Craftsman Trimmer 316.791190 is a string trimmer produced by Sears Brands. The trimmer operates on a 27cc 2-stroke air-cooled engine, making it suitable for trimming grass and light weeds, and for edging tasks. The trimmer includes a bump head cutting mechanism, which allows new trimming line to be released without the need to stop the engine. The trimmer has a 16 inch cutting path when using the included bump head.

The trimmer's engine includes an electronic ignition and a manual choke. It initiates operations with the use of an auto rewind system. The trimmer comes with a shoulder strap, a D-handle, a cutting head shield, and a trimming line with a diameter of 0.095 inches. The product's steel drive shaft housing is compatible with other attachments such as brush cutters, edgers, and cultivators. The trimmer requires a fuel/oil ratio of 40:1, and regular maintenance measures include checking the spark plug and cleaning the air filter.
