_WARNING: | Always wear eye |
protection. Never lean over the trim- mer head. Rocks or debris can rico-
chet 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 (perpendicular when edging)
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 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 tile bottom of tile trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow only the

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