OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

NOTE: The line trimming cut-off blade on the grass de- flector will cut the line to the correct length.

If the string is worn too short you may not be able to ad- vance the string by tapping it on the ground. If so, stop the engine and manually advance the string by pushing the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s).

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this tool for the purpose listed below:

Trimming grass and weeds from around porches, fences, and decks

ADVANCING TRIMMER CUTTING LINE

String advance is controlled by tapping the string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.

� Run engine at full throttle.

� Tap the spool retainer on ground to advance string. The string advances each time the spool retainer is tapped. Do not hold the spool retainer on the ground.

LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF BLADE

See Figure 4.

The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance string until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance the string whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep the string long enough to advance properly.

OPERATING THE TRIMMER

See Figure 5.

WARNING:

Always position the unit on the operator’s right side. The use of the unit on the operator’s left side will expose the user to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn injury.

WARNING:

To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with the bottom of the engine above waist level.
