Operating Your Trimmer

Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (Fig. 15). Check for the following:

•The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing.

•With a slightly bent right arm, the operator's right hand is holding the shaft grip.

•The operator's left arm is straight, and left hand holding the upper handle.

•The unit is at waist level.

•The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and easily contacts the grass without the need to bend over.

TIPS FOR BESTTRIMMING RESULTS

•For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle.

•Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.

Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip of the line to do the cutting, especially along walls. Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may overload the engine.

•Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by cutting from top to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear or engine drag.

Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at the desired height. Move either in a forward- backward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces the best results.

•Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.

•The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:

1.Proper adherence to explained trimming techniques

2.What vegetation is cut

3.Where vegetation is cut

For example, the line will wear faster when trimming

against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree.

Some line breakage will occur from:

•Entanglement with foreign matter

•Normal line fatigue

•Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds

•Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts

NOTE: This unit is equipped with an Anti-Kickback bar. This bar helps protect you from "kick-back" which may occur during operation. The Anti-Kickback bar hits the side of your leg when the trimmer jumps back, prevent- ing the cutting head to contact the operator.
