TRIMMING TIPS
WARNING
Debris such as sticks, gravel, and rocks can be thrown with sufficient force to cause personal injury or property damage.
WARNING
•Frequently clean debris and grass build up from the recoil starter cover holes, under the deck in the trimming head area, and around the muffler. Using the unit with excessive debris can risk fire. Always use extreme caution when using the trimmer during dry conditions.
•If the trimmer lines become too short, it will take longer to complete this job. If the trimmer lines are worn to less than half their original length, change to a new trimmer line. See “How to Replace the Trimmer Line” in the
Maintenance section.
•Do not trim on excessively steep slopes. See Slope Guide. If a slope is difficult to stand on, do not trim it. Do not trim on slopes when the ground is slippery or wet. Trim across the face of a slope, not up and down.
•Trimmer head contact to concrete, asphalt and harder surfaces may create premature wear to the height guide.
•For best results and longer lasting line, soak the trimmer line in a pale of water for 24 hours prior to use. A moist line will be more flexible than a dry, brittle line.
•Let the ends of the trimming line do the cutting. This is easily done by moving slowly through very thick or heavy weeds.
