If the trimmer head does not turn when
the engine is in operation, make sure
the drive shaft housing is properly
seated in engine shroud.
Always release the throttle trigger and
allow the engine to return to idle speed
when not cutting.
To stop engine:
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Move the ON/STOP switch to the
STOP
position.
• If engine does not stop, move choke
to the FULL CHOKE position.
ADVANCING THE TRIMMER LINE
The trimmer line will advance approxi-
mately 2 in. (5 cm) each time bottom of
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 line limiter.
Always keep the shield in place when
the tool is being operated.
To Advance Line:
• Operate the engine at full throttle.
• Hold the trimmer head parallel to and
above the grassy area.
• Tap bottom of trimmer head lightly on
ground one time. Approximately 2 in.
(5 cm) of line will be advanced with
each tap. The line limiter on the shield
will cut line to the correct length.

Limiter
Always tap the trimmer head on a
grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such
as concrete or asphalt can cause ex-
cessive wear to the trimmer head.
If line is worn down to 2 in. (5 cm) or
less, more than one tap will be required
to obtain the most efficient line length.

WARNING:
Use only .080" (1.6
mm) diameter
line. Other sizes of line
will not advance
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.

METHODS
WARNING:
Use minimum speed
and do not crowd the line when cutting
around hard objects (rock, gravel,
fence posts, etc.), which can damage
the trimmer head, becorne entangled
in the line, or be thrown causing a seri-
ous hazard.
• The tip of the line does the cutting.
You will achieve best performance and
minimum line wear by not crowding
line into the cutting area. The right and
wrong ways are shown below.

• 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. To help avoid dam-
age especially to delicate vegetation
or trees with tender bark, shorten line
to 4-5 in. (10-13 cm) and use at less
than full throttle.
• 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.
WARNING:
Always
wear eye
protection.
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.
TRIMMING
- Hold the bottom
of the
trimmer
head about 3 in. (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.
