WARNING: Use only 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter round line. Other sizes and shapes of line will not advance properly and will result in improper cutting head func- tion or can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious injury. See page 2 for warning concerning other cutting devices.

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

MOWING
Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the line parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the head into the ground as this can scalp the ground and dam- age the tool.

SWEEPING
The fanning action of the rotating line can be used for a quick and easy clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above the surfaces being swept and move the tool from side to side.

EDGING
While edging allow the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force the line. The edge guard helps protect the unit and keeps the unit from contacting the ground. Take extra caution while edging as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.
