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 ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground (perpendicular when edging) and not crowded into material being cut.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE

The cutting head advances line automati-

cally. Do not tap head on the ground to ad- vance line. This may break parts and cause cutting head to malfunction.

Upon unit start up, the line will advance auto- matically to the correct cutting path length. Always keep the shield in place when the tool is being operated.

WARNING: Use only 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter round line. Other sizes and shapes of line will not advance properly and will result in improper cutting head func- tion 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 serious 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.

EDGING

While edging allow the tip of the line to make contact. Do not force the line. The edge guard helps protect the unit and keeps the unit from contacting the ground. Take extra caution while edging as objects can be thrown from the trimmer line.

SCALPING

The scalping technique removes unwanted vegetation. Hold the bottom 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 increases line wear.

Scalping

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.
