WARNING!
Dress properly to reduce the risk of injury
when operating this tool.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear
eye and ear/hearing protection. Wear heavy,
long pants, boots and gloves. Do not wear
short pants and sandals or go barefoot.
Before operating the unit, stand in the
operating position and check that:
■ The operator is wearing eye protection and
proper clothing.
■ One arm is slightly bent. The hand of that
arm is holding the rear handle.
■ The other arm is straight. The hand of that
arm is holding the front-assist handle.
■ The trimmer head is parallel to the ground
and easily contacts the material to be cut
without the operator having to bend over.

Tips for best trimming results

WARNING!
■ Check for damaged/worn parts before
each use.
■ To avoid serious personal injury, wear
goggles or safety glasses at all times when
operating this unit. Wear a face mask or
dust mask in dusty locations. Wear proper
clothing and footwear during operation to
reduce the risk of injury that may be caused
by flying debris.
■ Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string that can be
thrown or become entangled in the cutting
attachment. Clear the area of children,
bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep
all children, bystanders, and pets at least
15 meter away. There still may be risk to
bystanders from thrown objects.
■ Bystanders should be encouraged to wear
eye protection. If you are approached,
stop the motor and cutting attachment
immediately.
■ The correct angle for the cutting attachment
is parallel to the ground.
■ This line trimmer allows you to rest the
bump head (1) on the ground for more
comfortable operation.
■ Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very
tip of the line to do the cutting (especially
along walls). Cutting with more than the
tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may
overload the motor.
■ The cutting height is determined by the
distance of the cutting line from the lawn
surface.
■ Grass over 200 mm should be cut by
working from top to the bottom in small
increments to avoid premature line wear or
motor drag.
■ Slowly move the trimmer into and out of
the area being cut, maintaining the cutting
head position at the desired cutting height.
This movement can be either a forward-
backward motion or a side-to-side motion.
Cutting shorter lengths produces best
results.
■ Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
■ Wire and picket fences can cause extra line
wear or breakage. Stone and brick walls,
curbs, and wood may wear lines rapidly.
■ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood
moldings, siding, and fence posts can
easily be damaged by the lines.
Adjusting cutting line length (See
Fig F)
The trimmer head allows the operator to
release more cutting line without stopping
the motor. As the line becomes frayed or
worn, additional line can be released by
lightly tapping the bump head (1) on the
ground while operating the trimmer. For best
results, tap the bump head on bare ground
or hard soil. If line release is attempted in tall
grass, the motor may overheat.
Always keep the trimming line fully extended.
Line release becomes more difficult as the
cutting line becomes shorter.
