Protection

WARNING: Always wear eye protec-

tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.

Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into

eyes and face and cause blindness or other

serious injury.

When operating unit, stand as shown and

check for the following:

S W ear eye protection and heavy clothing.

S Hold trigger handle with your right hand and

assit handle with left hand.

S Keep unit below waist level.

S Cut only from your left to your right to

ensure debris is thrown away from you.

Without bending over, keep line near and

parallel to the ground and not crowded into

material being cut.

Do not run the engine at a higher speed than

necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently

when the engine is run at less than full throttle.

At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and

vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will

be less likely to “weld” onto the spool. Always

release the throttle trigger and allow the en-

gine to return to idle speed when not cutting.

To stop engine:

S Release the throttle trigger.

S Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-

tion.

CUTTING METHODS

WARNING: Use minimum speed

and do not crowd the line when cutting around

hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),

which can damage the trimmer head, become

entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a

serious hazard.

S The tip of the line does the cutting. You will

achieve the best performance and mini-

mum line wear by not crowding the line into

the cutting area. The right and wrong ways

are shown below.

Tip of the line

does the cutting.

Right Wrong

Line crowded into

work area.

S The line will easily remove grass and

weeds from around walls, fences, trees and

flower beds, but it also can cut the tender

bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences.

S For trimming or scalping, use less than full

throttle to increase line life and decrease

head wear, especially:

S During light duty cutting.

S Near objects around which the line can

wrap such as small posts, trees or fence

wire.

S For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for

a good clean job.

TRIMMING -- Hold the bottom of the trimmer

head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground

and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to

make contact. Do not force trimmer line into

work area.
