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.
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.

CUTTING 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, 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 perform-
ance and minimum line wear by not
crowding the line into the cutting
area. The right and wrong ways are
shown below.
Tip of the Line Line Crowded into
Does The Cutting Work Area
• The line will easily remove grass and
weeds from around walls, fences,
trees and flower beds. but italso 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. (t0-13 cm).
WARNING: Always wear eye pro-
tection. 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.
Do not use trimmer for edging.
Above Ground
SCALPING - The scalping technique
removes unwanted vegetation. Hold
the bottom of the trimmer head about 3
in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an
angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike
the ground around trees, posts, monu-
ments, etc. This technique increases
line wear.
Scalping
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 toot.
