OPERATION

WARNING:

Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keep- ing clearance between the body and the product. Any contact with the housing or string trimmer cutting head can result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.

TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE

String advance is controlled by tapping the string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.

Run engine at full throttle.

Tap the spool retainer on ground to advance string. The string advances each time the spool retainer is tapped. Do not hold the spool retainer on the ground.

NOTE: The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector will cut the line to the correct length.

NOTE: If the string is worn too short you may not be able to advance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so, stop the engine, and manually advance the string.

TO ADVANCE THE CUTTING LINE MANUALLY

Stop the engine.

Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s) to manually advance the string.

CUTTING TIPS

See Figures 16 -17.

Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from your body. (Proper operating position shown in figure 15.)

Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.

The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right to left. The straight shaft trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in illustration.

Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.

Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.

Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
