Techniques / Applications:
Trimming Tip
To extend the life of the trimmer line, keep the trimmer line moist . If not kept moist, the nylon line will become dry and
brittle . Keep extra trimmer line in a container of water . The line will stay flexible and easy to change . A flexible line will
also last longer .
NOTICE
It is recommended that the engine air intake screen be cleaned every time the trimmer line is replaced . Failure to keep
the air intake screen clean may result in overheating and damage to engine .
(See instructions under the Maintenance section)
WARNING
Thoroughly inspect the area where the Trimmer is to be used and remove all foreign objects . Your equipment can throw
small objects at high speed causing personal injury or property damage .
Your Trimmer is most effective when using the tips of the trimmer line for trimming grass and other vegetation . Do not
force the trimmer line into grass or vegetation faster than Trimmer's cutting speed permits. Forcing the Trimmer will
cause your Trimmer to be less effective, and may cause the engine to overheat .
