I _hb I to reduce the risk of injury when operating this unit.
HOLDING THE TRIMMER
Before operating the unit, stand in the operating
position (Fig. 9). Check for the following:
• The operator is wearing eye protection and
proper clothing
• With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator's
right hand is holding the shaft grip
• The operator's left arm is straight, the left hand
holding the handle
• The unit is at waist level
• The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground
and easily contacts the grass without the need
to bend over
BUMP KNOB LINE ADVANCE

cutting line when necessary.
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
• For best trimming results, operate unit with throttle control fully squeezed.
• Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
• Do not force the cutting attachment. Allow the tip of the line to do the
cutting, especially along wails. Cutting with more than the tip will reduce
cutting efficiency and may overload the engine.
• Cut grass over 8 inches (200 ram) by working from top to bottom in small
increments to avoid premature line wear or engine drag.
• Cut from right to left.
• Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at the desired
height. Move either in a forward-backward or side-to-side motion. Cutting
shorter lengths produces the best results.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
• The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
- Proper adherence of explained trimming techniques
- What vegetation is cut
- Where vegetation is cut
For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation
wall as opposed to trimming around a tree. It is normal for some line
breakage to occur from regular use.
WARNING:
Always wear eye, hearing, foot and body protection
I DECORATIVE TRIMMING
Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all vegetation around
trees, posts, fences and more.
Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at a 30 ° angle to the
ground (Fig. 10).
