CORRECT OPERATING POSITION

Trimming

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 right hand and as-

sist handle with left hand.

S Keep unit below waist level.

S Cut only from your right to your left to en- sure debris is thrown away from you. With- out bending over, keep line near and paral- lel to the ground and not crowded into material being cut.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE

Advance line by tapping bottom of cutting head lightly on the ground while unit is running at full speed. A metal line limiter blade at- tached to the shield will cut the line to the proper length.

WARNING: Use only 0.065 inch (1.65

mm)diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad- vance properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can cause se- rious injury. See page 2 for warning concerning other cutting devices.

TRIMMING

Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and at an an- gle. Allow only the tip of the line to make con- tact. Do not force trimmer line into work area.

SCALPING

The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation down to the ground. Hold the bot- tom of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc. This technique in- creases line wear.

MOWING

Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the line parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the head into the ground as this can scalp the ground and dam- age the tool.

SWEEPING

The fanning action of the rotating line can be used for a quick and easy clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above the surfaces being swept and move the tool from side to side.
