Using Your String Trimmer
□
Be sure trimming area is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or
other objects which could damage the string trimmer or
engine. Such objects could be accidently thrown by the
trimmer in any direction and cause serious personal injury
to the operator and others.
WARNING: The operation of any string trimmer can result
in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
damage your eyes severely. Always wear safety glasses
while operating the string trimmer, or while performing
any adjustments or repairs on it.
□
The string trimmer is designed with the spindle offset to
the left side, allowing the operator to trim along a fence,
landscaping, or a house to his or her right side without
having to make any adjustments to the machine.
□
Operate the string trimmer at a slower walking speed when
trimming tall, thick weeds or grass.
□
Clean the underside of the trimmer after each use to
remove any debris build up.
WARNING: Shut the engine off and wait until the trimmer
head comes to a complete stop before cleaning the
discharge area. The trimmer head continues to rotate for a
few seconds after the trimmer head control is released.
□
Do not trim on excessively steep slopes. If a slope is difficult
to stand on, do not trim. Do not trim on slopes when the
ground is slippery or wet. Trim across the face of a slope,
not up and down.
CAUTION: While operating the string trimmer, do not
allow the spindle to contact a concrete, asphalt, or gravel
surface. Doing so will result in premature wear.
