OPERATING POSITION
Eye Protection
Long Pants
Heavy Shoes
ALWAYS WEAR:
Cut from your right to your left.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protec-
tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.
Rocks or debris canricochet orbe thrown into
eyes and face and cause blindness or other
serious injury.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed than
necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently
when the engine is run at less than full throttle.
At lower speeds, there is less engine noise
and vibration. The cutting line will last longer
and will be less likely to “weld” onto the spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to return to idle speed when not
cutting.
To stop engine:
S
Release the throttle trigger.
S
Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE
The trimmer line will advance approximately 2
in. (5 cm) each time the bottom of the 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 the line limiter.
Always keep the shield in place when the tool
is being operated.
To advance line:
S
Operate the engine at full throttle.
S
Hold the trimmer head parallel to and above
the grassy area.
S
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.
