HElpful cutting tips

• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass. Use edge guide along such things as fences, houses and flower beds for best practices.

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

• Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other surfaces.

• In long growth cut from the top down and do not exceed 12 inches (304.8 mm) high.

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

• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.

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

Cutting Line / LINE FEEDING

Your trimmer uses .065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND nylon line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed and worn and the special self feeding spool will automatically feed and trim a fresh length of line. Do not bump unit on ground in attempt to feed line or for any other purposes. Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting or edging is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut.
