TRIMMERUNE
For best results, replace trimmer lines when they have worn to half their odginal length. Use .155 inch diameter tdmmer
line. Cut new tdmmer line length to
trimmer head, check all lines so they do not vary more then one (1) inch in length. This is important to make sure the trimmer head is balanced and will not vibrate
abnormally.
AWARNING: Use only the specified trimmer line. Do not use other matedals
such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during tdmming and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious injury.
