• 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 asphalt 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.
WARNING:
use only 0.080" (2 mm)
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
_WARNING: use
minimum
speed
and do net crowd the line when cutting around
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),
which can damage thetdmmer 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
minimum line wear by not crowding the line
into the cutting area, The right and wrong
wavs are shown below.
Tip of the Line Line Crowded Into
Does The Cutting Work Area
• The line will easily remove grass and
weeds from around walls, 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.
• For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for
a good clean job.
TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer

SCALPING - The scalping technique re-
moves unwanted vegetation down to the
ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head
about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and
at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the
ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc.
This technique increases line wear.
MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for mowing
in places conventional lawn mowers cannot
reach, in the mowing position, keep the line
parallel to the ground, Avoid pressing the
head into the ground as this can scalp the
ground and damage the tool.
