OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that the engine not be
operated for longer than 1 minute at full
throttle.
OPERATING POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR:
Hearing
Protection
e Protection
Lone
Heavy shoes
Cut only from your left to your right
WAR NIN G; 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.
When operating unit, stand as shown and
check for the following:
• Wear eye protection and heavy clothing.
• Hold trigger handle with your right hand and
assit handle with left hand.
• Keep unit below waist level.
• Cut only from your left to your right to
ensure debris is thrown away from you.
Without bending over, keep line near and
parallel to the ground and not crowded into
material being cut.
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 en-
gine to return to idle speed when not cutting,
To stop engine:
• Release the throttle trigger,
• Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
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 performance and mini-
mum 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,
Right
• The line will easily remove grass and
weeds from around wails, fences, trees and
flower beds, but it also can cut the tender
bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences,
• For trimming or scalping, use less than full
throttle to increase line life and decrease
head wear, especially:
• During light duty cutting.
• Near objects around which the line can
wrap such as small posts, trees or fence
wire,
• Formowingorsweeping, usefullthrottIefor
a good clean job.
TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer
head about 3 inches (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,
