OPERATING THE TRIMMER

 •With the unit on, angle unit and slowly swing the

trimmer side to side as shown in figure N.

 •Maintainacuttingangleof5° to 10° as shown

in figure N1. Do not exceed 10°(figure N2). Cut

with the tip of the line. To keep distance from hard

surfaces use edge guide (10). Pull the guide out

until it snaps securely into place

 •Maintainaminimumdistanceof24 inches

(609.6 mm) between the guard and your feet

as shown in figure N3. To acheive this distance

adjust the overall height of the trimmer as shown

in figure H.

EDGING

Optimum cutting results are achieved on

edgesdeeperthan2inches(50mm).

 •Do not use the tool to create edges

or trenches.

 •Guide the tool as shown in figure O.

 •To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the

tool.

HELPFUL CUTTING TIPS

 •Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string

head into uncut grass. Use edge guide along such things as

fences, houses and flower beds for best practices.

 •Wireandpicketfencescauseextrastringwear,evenbreakage.

Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.

 •Donotallowspoolcaptodragongroundorothersurfaces.

 •Inlonggrowthcutfromthetopdownanddonotexceed12

inches(304.8mm)high.

 •Keeptrimmertiltedtowardtheareabeingcut;thisisthebest

cutting area.

 •Thetrimmercutswhenpassingtheunitfromtherighttoleft.

This will avoid throwing debris at the operator.

 •Avoidtreesandshrubs.Treebark,woodmoldings,siding,and

fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

CUTTING LINE / LINE FEEDING

Your trimmer uses .065 inch

(1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND nylon

line. During use, the tips of the nylon lines will become frayed and

worn and the special self feeding spool will automatically feed and

trim a fresh length of line. DO NOT BUMP unit on ground in attempt

to feed line or for any other purposes. Cutting line will wear faster and

requiremorefeedingifthecuttingoredgingisdonealongsidewalks

or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are being cut.
