To advance
line:
• Operate
the engine at full throttle,
• Hold the trimmer
head paraltel to and above
the grassy
area.
• Tap the bottom of the trimmer head tightly 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
fine 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 not crowd the Iine when cutting around
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),
which can damage thetrimmer
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 iine
into the cutting area, The right and wrong
ways are shown below.

SCALPING
- The scalping
technique
re-
moves
unwanted
vegetation
down
to the
ground,
Hotd 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.

W_ong
• 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
head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground
and at an angle, Allow only the tip of the line to
make contact,
Do not force trimmer
line into
work area,
SWEEPING
- The fanning action of the rotat-
ing line can be used for a quick
and easy
clean up, Keep the line parallel to and above
the surfaces
being swept and move the tool
from side to side.
