WARNING: Always wear eye protec- tion. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury.
When operating unit, stand as shown and check for the following:
SWear eye protection and heavy clothing. S Hold trigger handle with your right hand and
assit handle with left hand. S Keep unit below waist level.
S Cut only from your left to your right to ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground and not crowded into material being cut.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed than necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently when the engine is run at less than full throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will be less likely to “weld” onto the spool.
