CORRECT OPERATING POSITION
i
_ WARNING: Always wear eye
protection. 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:
•Wear eye protection and heavy clothing.
•Hold trigger handle with right hand and assist handle with left hand.
•Keep unit below waist level.
• Cut only from your right to your left 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.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE
Advance line by tapping bottom of cut- ting head lightly on the ground while unit
is running at full speed. A metal line lim- iter blade attached to the shield will cut
the line to the proper length.
_,WARNING: | Use only 0.065 inch |
(1.65 mm) diameter line. Other sizes of line will not advance properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cut- ting and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious injury. See page
2 for warning concerning other cutting devices.
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.

SCALPING
The scalping technique removes un- wanted vegetation down to the ground. Hold the bottom of the trim- mer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Al- low the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monu-
ments, etc. This technique increases line wear.
