OPERATION
CUTTING TIPS (See Figure 12.)
• Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the
operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 12.
• Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string head into uncut grass.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear and breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs,
and wood may wear string rapidly.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be
damaged by the string.
LINE CUT-OFF BLADE (See Figure 12.)
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the guard. The line cut off blade
continuously trims the line to ensure a consistent and efficient cut diameter. Advance line
whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal, or when trimming efficiency
diminishes. This will maintain best performance and keep line long enough to advance
properly.
