Operation

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Objects can be thrown by the trimmer
while it is in operation.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Thrown objects could cause injury to the
operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always wear safety goggles or other suitable
eye protection, long pants and shoes while
operating trimmer.
Keep people and pets away from trimming
area.
Your trimmer will cut grass and small weeds in
difficult and hard to reach places. However, you will
most likely experience some line breakage during
your first few uses. As you learn the trimming
techniques, you will be able to cut areas around trees,
shrubs, foundation walls, fences, sidewalks, patios,
etc., with minimal line wear or line breakage.
1. Inspect area to be trimmed for any wire, cord, or
string-like matter which could become entangled
in the rotating line. Also pick up any objects or
debris that could be thrown by the trimmer.
2. Lay out the extension cord so that it won't be in
your way and to prevent kinking or tangling.
3. Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
4. Slowly move unit in and out of area being cut,
maintaining unit at desired cutting height. This
can be either a forward-backward or side-to-side
motion as indicated (Fig. 8 & 9).
5. Grass in excess of eight inches tall or small
weeds should be cut by working from the top to
the bottom in small increments to avoid
premature line wear.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE UNIT. Allow the very
tip of the nylon line to do the cutting (especially
along walls) (Fig. 10). Cutting with more than
the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and
overload the motor.
The tip of the cutting line will wear during use
and cause a reduction in the cutting swath. If the
line is not advanced occasionally, it will wear
down to the eyelet. When the trimmer is stopped
the line will tend to relax and may retract into
the cutter head. Should this occur, remove
spool, refeed the line through eyelet, and
reassemble spool to trimmer.
7. The life of your cutting line is dependent upon
following the preceding trimming techniques, as
well as what is being cut, and where the cutting
is being done. For example, line wears faster
when trimming against a foundation wall as
opposed to trimming around a tree.
Some line breakage will occur from moving unit
too fast, from entanglement with foreign matter,
from normal line fatigue, and from attempting to
