OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE WITH TRIMMER HEAD
WARNING: Alwayswear
eye
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.
Before trimming, bring engine to e speed suffi-
cient to cut material to be trimmed.
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.
To stop engine:
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
CUTTING METHODS
_,WARNING: use
minimum
speed
and do not crowd the line when cutting around
hard objects (rock, graveI, 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 performance and mini-
mum line wear by not crowding the line into
the cutting area, The right and wrong ways
are shown below.
Tip of the line
does the cutting.
Right
Line crowded into
work area.
• 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.
• Per 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.
• Pormowingorsweeping. usefullthrotttefor
a good clean job.
TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer
head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground
and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to
make contact. Do not force trimmer line into
