Trimming
Trimming operation
Always mount the trimmer correctly using the shoulder har-
ness.
 Buckle waist belt. Belt should be snug.
 Attach product to harness.
 Loop handle version
Place shoulder harness over left shoulder and adjust
straps so the quick release pin rests just below the waist.
 U-handle version
Place shoulder harness over both shoulders and adjust
straps so the connecting point latches as shown.
 Check for correct adjustment by moving cutting attachment
along ground.
 Re-adjust position of suspension point if necessary.
 The shoulder harness is fitted with an emergency release
function.
 Loop handle version: In the event of a fire or other emer-
gency, pull the quick release pin (A) up to release the
product from your body.
 U-handle version: In the event of a fire or other emergen-
cy, pull the emergency tab (B) up to release the product
from your body.
WARNING
 Cut off knife on the shield adjusts cutting swath automatically
by cutting nylon lines evenly when attachment starts rotating.
 When operating with less than maximum cutting swath, cut
two nylon lines in equal lengths.
 To advance trimmer line, tap the nylon line cutting head (A)
against the ground while the head is turning at normal operat-
ing speed.
 This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish
to cut. Tilt the head slightly to direct the debris away from you.
If cutting up to a barrier such as a fence, wall or tree, approach
from an angle where any debris ricocheting off the barrier will
fly away from you.
 Move the nylon line cutting head slowly until the grass is cut
right up to the barrier, but do not jam (overfeed) the line into
the barrier. If trimming up wire mesh or chain link fencing, be
careful to feed only up to the wire. If you go too far, the line will
snap off around the wire.
 Trimming can be done to cut through weed stems one at a
time. Place the nylon line cutting head near the bottom of the
weed never high up, which could cause the weed to chatter
and catch the line. Rather than cut the weed right through, just
use the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
