OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
USE WITH
TRIMMER
HEAD
WARN IN G: 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 a 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.
TRIMMER
LINE
ADVANCE
Thetrimmer
line will advance
approximately
2
inches
(5 cm) each time the bottom
of the
trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the
engine running at full throttle.
The most efficient line length is the maximum
lengtt_ allowed by the line fimiter. Always keep
the shield in place when the tool is being oper-
ated.
To advance
line:
• Operate
the engine at full throttle.
• Hold the trimmer
head parallel to and above
the grassy
area.
• Tap the bottom of the trimmer head lightly on
the ground one time. Approximately
2 inches
(5 cm) of line will be advanced with each tap.
Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy area.
Tapping on surfaces
such as concrete
or as-
phalt can cause excessive wear to the trimmer
head.If the line is worn down to 2 inches (5 cm)
or less, more tt_an one tap wiII be required to ob-
tain the most efficient line length.
AOkWARNING:
use
only 0.095"
(2.4
ram) diameter
line. Other sizes of line will not
advance
properly
and can
cause
serious
injury. Do not use other materials
such
as
wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off dur-
ing cutting
and become
a dangerous
missile
that can cause serious
injury.
CUTTING
METHODS
'_kWARNING:
use
minimum
speed
and do not crowd the line when cutting around
hard objects (rock, gravel, 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.
