WARNING: Always wear eye protec- tion. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be throwninto eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury.

Do not run the engine at a higher speed than necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently whenthe 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. Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to idle speed when not cutting. To stop engine:

SRelease the throttle trigger.

SMove the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi- tion.

TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

Thetrimmer line will advance approximately 2 inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the engine running at full throttle.

The most efficient line length is the maximum length allowed by the line limiter.

Always keep the shield in place when the tool is being operated.
