Trimmer Operation

Operating Position

Hold the trimmer firmly with both hands, with your fingers
and thumbs encircling the handles (Figure 21). This will
help keep the trimmer under control at all times.
• Keep firm footing and balance.
• Do not overreach.
• Keep the cutting attachment below waist level.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating
cutting attachment and hot surfaces.
Figure 21
Using a Nylon Trimmer-line Head
Refer to the chart on this page for appropriate line-cutting
applications.
Line must be released with the trimmer-line head spinning
rapidly.
1. Hold the rotating cutting head horizontal to the
ground.
2. With the engine running at full speed, tap the cutting-
line head on hard, bare ground. Do not tap the cutting-
line head on pavement or concrete.
3. Each tap releases about two inches of line.
4. The blade on the deflector trims surplus line to correct
length. Avoid tapping the head more than once.
NOTe: Line feed will only operate if both lines still have a
minimum length of 1" (2.5 cm).
OPeRaTION

Using Brushcutter Blade

WaRNING A worn, damaged, or cracked blade
can break, and pieces of the damaged blade can become
dangerous projectiles. A dull blade is more likely to snag and
thrust (kickback). Inspect the blade regularly, and do not
operate the trimmer with a dull, damaged, or worn blade.
Refer to the chart on this page for appropriate blade
applications.
The blade supplied with the trimmer has a protective cover
surrounding the edge of the blade. For your safety, and to
protect the blade, the cover should be installed whenever
the trimmer is not in use or when installing the blade.
Be sure to remove the blade cover before starting the
engine, or the blade cover may fly off at high speed.

Thrown Debris
The trimmer/brushcutter will throw debris in the direction
of blade movement at the point of contact.
The cutting line head or blade rotate counterclockwise, as
viewed from the operator's position.
• Tilting the cutting head to the right will throw debris
away from you.
• Tilting the cutting head to the left will throw debris
towards you.
• If the cutting head is held parallel to the ground,
debris will scatter in all directions, and there will be
greater friction which will wear out the cutting line or
blade sooner.
