CORRECT OPERATING
POSITION
Trimming
Stand as shown and check for the fol-
lowing:
• Operator wearing eye protection and
heavy clothing.
° Right hand holding handle,
° Unit below waist level,
• Use the left side for trimming so de-
bris is thrown away from the opera-
tor_ Without operator bending over,
keep the line near and parallel to
ground (perpendicular when edging)
and not crowded into material being
cut.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE
Advance line by tapping bottom of cut-
ting head lightly on the ground while
unit is running at full speed. A metal
blade attached to the shield will cut the
line to the proper length_
WARNING: Always wear eye protec-
tion, 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,

SCALPING
The scalping technique removes un-
wanted vegetation. Hold the bottom of
the trimmer head about 3 in, (8 cm)
above the ground and at an angle, Al-
low the tip of the line to strike the
ground around trees, posts, monu-
ments, etc. This technique increases
line wear.
