OPERATION
•NEVER operate trimmer with cutting head above knee height - operation with the cutting head well above ground level produces a higher debris flow, and can cause debris to strike you in the face.
•ALWAYS follow instructions provided in Operator’s Manual or with line head for loading or advancing nylon line.
•ALWAYS wear gloves when handling or reloading a line head that has been in use - the gear case and driveshaft get very hot and can cause burns if touched.
Applications
Nylon line heads may be used for trimming, scything, edging, and scalping of grass and light weeds.
Trimming - Feed the spinning line into the material to be cut. Tilt the line head to one side to direct cutting debris away from you:
•Model GT (Curved shaft, clockwise line head rotation) - Tilt the cutting head down on the left side (air filter side) while cutting to direct cutting debris away from operator. Feed the line gradually into the material you wish to cut, avoiding contact with fences or other barriers.
•Model SRM/PAS/SB (Straight shaft,
Scything - Swing the cutting head in a level arc, gradually feeding the line into the material being cut. Move forward with each arc to cut a swath. Width of cutting swath depends on arc. Use a larger arc for a wider swath, or a smaller arc for a narrow swath. Keep line head tilted to direct cutting debris forward or away from you.
