OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS

• 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 walls. Cutting with

more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may

overload the motor.

• Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from top

to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line

wear or motor drag.

• Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left

improves the unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are

thrown away from the operator.

• 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:

• Following the trimming techniques previously explained

• 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.

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).

NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended.

Line release becomes more difficult as cutting

line becomes shorter.

Each time the head is bumped, approximately 1 inch

(25.4 mm) of trimming line is released. A blade in the

string guard will cut the line if excess line is released.

For best results, tap the head on bare ground or hard

soil. If line release is attempted in tall grass, the motor

may overheat. Always keep the trimming line fully

extended. Line release becomes more difficult as the

cutting line becomes shorter.

Fig. 9

Bump Head

OPERATING THE TRIMMER

Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all

objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string

which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting

attachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and

pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and

pets outside a 50 feet (15m) radius; there still may be a

risk to bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders

should be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are

approached, stop the motor and cutting attachment

immediately.

NOTE: Remove protective tape from the line cut-off

blade before operating trimmer.

ADJUSTING TRIMMING LINE LENGTH

The bump head allows the operator to release more

trimming line without stopping the motor. As line

becomes frayed or worn, additional line can be released

by lightly tapping the trimming head on the ground while

operating the trimmer (Fig. 9).

CAUTION:

Do not remove or alter the line

cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length will

make the unit overheat. This may lead to serious

personal injury or damage to the unit.

WARNING: Always wear eye, hearing, foot

and body protection to reduce the risk of

injury when operating this unit.
