Trimmer head styles:

Semi-automatic. Trimmer line is indexed when the operator taps the trimmer head on the ground during operation.

Manual. The operator indexes line manually with the grass trimmer stopped.

Fixed. The operator must stop the unit and add new lengths of trimmer line manually.

Flail. This device, designed for clearing weeds and light brush, fea- tures three nylon blades attached to the head by pivots.

NOTE:

Additional hardware may be required to mount the Fixed Line or the Flail type trimmer heads.

Trimming and Mowing Grass

Hold the grass trimmer so the trimmer head is angled slightly into the area to be cut. To ensure maximum trimmer-line ser- vice life, cut only with the tip of the trim- mer line. Cut grass by swinging the unit's trimmer head from left to right. Keep the trimmer head horizontal.

CAUTION!

Do not push the rotating line into trees, wire fences or any material that could tangle or break line ends.

CAUTION!

Use only flexible, nonmetallic line

recommended by the manufacturer. Never use, for example, wire or wire-rope, which can break off and become a dangerous projectile.

WARNING!

Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment.

CAUTION!

■■Operation of trimmer without a cut- ting attachment shield and using excessive line length can lead to premature clutch failure.

■■Operation at low rpm can lead to premature clutch failure.

Brushcutter Shoulder Strap

A shoulder strap provides additional pro- tection against blade thrust. In addition, a shoulder strap gives significant support and comfort to help ensure safe and effi- cient operation. When operating a unit with a blade, make sure both the handle and shoulder strap are adjusted to the size of the operator using the unit.
