ROTATION

The proper debris shield must be in place on the unit when nylon cutting line is used.

a)Units with EchomaticTM semi-automatic line head must have a debris shield with cut-off knife.

b)Units with manual feed line head or blade head require a debris shield. Consult your operator’s manual for the proper debris shield.

WARNING DANGER

The cutting line can flap around if too much line is exposed. Always reinstall the plastic debris shield and cut-off knife when converting the unit for use with a semi-automatic feed type line head. A metal shield does not trim line.

For nearly all cutting, it is good to tilt the line head so that contact is made on the part of the line circle where the line is moving away from you and the debris shield. (See appropriate picture.) This results in the debris being thrown away from you.

Tilting the head to the wrong side will shoot the debris toward you. If the line head is held flat to the ground so that cutting occurs on the whole line circle, debris will be thrown at you, drag will slow the engine, and you will use up a lot of line.

WARNING DANGER

Use only ECHO quality nylon monofilament line of the diameter given in your operator’s manual. Never use wire or wire-reinforced line in place of nylon trimmer line. Load your nylon line cutting head only with nylon trimmer line of the proper diameter.

WARNING DANGER

Use extreme caution when operating over bare spots and gravel, because the line can throw small rock particles at high speeds. Debris shields on the unit cannot stop objects which bounce or ricochet off hard surfaces.
