_WARNING:
Always wear eye
protection. Always use hearing 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:
• Wear eye protection
and heavy
clothing.
• Hold trigger handle with right hand
and assist handle with left hand.
• Hold unit so that engine is below
waist level.
• 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 and not crowded
into materi-
al being cut.
Do not run the engine at a higher
speed than necessary.
The cutting
line will cut efficiently when the engine
is run at less than full throttle. At lower
speeds,
there is less engine noise and
vibration.
The cutting line will last
longer and will be less likely to "weld"
onto the spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and
allow the engine to return to idle
speed when not cutting.
HOW TO STOP YOUR UNIT
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.
TRIMMER
LINE ADVANCE
The trimmer line will advance
approxi-
mately 2 inches (5 cm) each time the
bottom of the trimmer head is tapped
on the ground with the engine running
at full throttle.
The most efficient line length is the
maximum
length allowed by the line
limiter. Always keep the shield in place
when the tool is being operated.
To advance
line:
• Operate the engine at full throttle.
• Hold the trimmer head parallel to
and above the grassy area.
• Tap the bottom of the trimmer head
lightly on the ground one time. Ap-
proximately
2 inches (5 cm) of line
will be advanced
with each tap.
Always tap the trimmer head on a
grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such
as concrete or asphalt can cause ex-
cessive wear to the trimmer head.
If the line is worn down to 2 inches (5
cm) or less, more than one tap will be
required to obtain the most efficient line
length.
_;_,WARNING:
Use only 0.080 inch
(2 mm) diameter
round line. Other
sizes and shapes
of line will not ad-
vance properly and will result in im-
proper 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 serious
injury.
CUTTING
METHODS
'_L, WARNING:
Use minimum
speed and do not crowd the line when
cutting around hard objects
(rock,
gravel, fence posts, etc.), which can
damage
the trimmer head, become
entangled
in the line, or be thrown
causing
a serious hazard.
• The tip of the line does the cutting.
You will achieve the best perform-
ance and minimum
line wear by not
crowding
the line into the cutting
area. The right and wrong ways are
shown below.

Right
"_
• The line will easily remove grass
and weeds from around walls,
fences, trees and flower beds, but it
also can cut the tender bark of trees
or shrubs and scar fences.
• For trimming
or scalping,
use less
than full throttle to increase
line life
and decrease
head wear, especially:
• During light duty cutting.
• Near objects around which the line
can wrap such as small posts,
trees or fence wire.
• For mowing or sweeping,
use full
throttle for a good clean job.
TRIMMING
- Hold the bottom of the
trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)
above the ground and at an angle. Al-
low only the tip of the line to make
contact
with vegetation.
Do not force
trimmer line into work area.
