Cutting Line / Line Feeding
Your trimmer uses .080" (2 mm) diameter, TWIST nylon line.
During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed and
worn. Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if
the cutting is done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces
or heavier weeds are beingcut.
Helpful Cutting Tips (Fig.N)
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncutgrass. Use edge guide along such
things as fences, houses and flower beds for bestpractices.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear stringrapidly.
• Do not allow spool cap
22
to drag on ground or
othersurfaces.
• In long growth, cut from the top down and do not
exceed 13" (330 mm)high.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cuttingarea.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at theoperator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by thestring.
