advanced with each tap.
Toadvance line, tap bottomof trimmer
headon groundone time.
AJways 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 isworn down to 2 in. (5 cm)or
less, more than one tap will be required
to obtain the most efficientline length.
WARNING: Use only .080" (2 ram)
diameter line. Other sizes of line will
not advance properly and can cause
seriousinjury. Do not use other materi-
als such as wire, string, rope, etc, Wire

posts, etc.), which can damage the trim-
mer head, become entangled in the line,
or be thrown causing a sedous hazard,

.,The line will easily remove grass and
weeds from around walls, fences,
trees and flower beds, but it also can
cutthe 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 fulf throttle.
• For trimming er scalping, use less
than full throttle to increase line life
and decrease head wear, especially:
• During lightduty 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 protec-
tion, Never lean over the trimmer head.
Rocks or debds can ricochet or be
thrown into eyes and face and cause
blindness or other serious injury.
