OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended
that the engine
not be
operated
for longer
than
1 minute
at full
throttle.
OPERATING
POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR:
_._
Eye protection
Long pant_.
Heavy shoes
Out from your left to your right.
A
WARNING:
use only0,080" (2mm)
diameter
line. Other sizes of line will not ad-
vance properly
and can cause serious injury.
Do not use other
materials
such
as wire,
string,
rope,
etc. Wire
can break off during
cutting and become a dangerous
missile that
can cause serious
injury.
CUTTING
METHODS
'_L, WARNING:
Use
mh_imum
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 Ih_e, or be thrown
causing
a
serious
hazard.
• The tip of the line does the cutting.
You will
achieve
the
best
performance
and
minimum
line wear by not crowding
the line
into the cutting area. The right and wrong
ways are shown below.

A
44, WAR NIN 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.
De net 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 tess likely to 'Weld" onto the spool.
Always release the throttie tdgger 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
The trimmer 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
length allowed by the line limiter. Always keep
the shield in place when the tool is being oper-
ated.
To advance
line:
• Operate
the engine at full throttle.
• Holdthetrimmerhead
paralieltoandabove
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 than one tap will be required to ob-
tain the most efficient line length.
Right
W_'ong
• The
line will
easily
remove
grass
and
weeds from around wails, fences, trees and
flower beds, but it also can cut the tender
bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences.
• For 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.
• Formowingorsweeping,
usefullthrottlefor
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.
De net force trimmer
line into
work area.
Trimming
3 inches
(8 crr
above ground
SCALPING
- The scalping
technique
re-
moves unwanted
vegetation.
Hold the bottom
of the trimmer
head about 3 inches
(8 cm)
above the ground
and at an angle. Allow the
tip of the lineto strike the ground around trees,
posts,
monuments,
etc. This
technique
in-
creases
line wear.
