Page 13

z:_ CAUTION: Before you begin trimming, only use the appropriate type of cutting line.

OPERATING TIPS

1.Before each use make sure the protective safety guard is tightly installed. Tighten tile guard screw, but DO NOT over tighten.

2.Be sure to check the auxiliary handle before each use, to make sure it is firmly tightened.

3.Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches, rocks, toys, or other objects that could be entangled in or thrown by the cutting line.

4.Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front, guiding the trimmer in a semi-circular motion around you.

5.Cut from left to right whenever possible. Cutting to the right improves the unit'scutting efficiency. Clippings are thrown away from the operator.

6.To produce a smoothly trimmed area, move the trimmer in and out of the area being cut with constant speed and height.

7.Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming, especially near walls and fences.

Trimming with the side of the cutting line may overload the motor, wear out the line faster, and break the line more often.

8.DO NOT rest the trimmer spool on the ground while you are trimming. This will cause spool wear.

9.When cutting vegetation that is over 6 inches in height, work from top to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear or engine drag.

10.If the trimmer is not cutting correctly, the auto feed may not be operating correctly,

or the spool may be empty. Remove the spool and identify the problem. See page 22,

AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM and page 23, REPLACE CUTTING LINE and FiLLiNG SPOOL WITH CUTTING LINE.
