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.

SHold trigger handle with right hand and as- sist handle with left hand.

SKeep unit below waist level.

SCut 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

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. 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, monu- ments, 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.
