OPERATION
STARTING/STOPPING THE LAWN TRIMMER
See Figure 6.
To start the lawn trimmer, push the lock-out trigger and
pull the switch trigger.
To stop the lawn trimmer, release the switch trigger.
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 7.
Follow these tips when using the lawn trimmer:
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle.
Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with
the rear handle about hip height.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the boom housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head:
Make sure the switch trigger is locked out in the off posi-
tion.
Remove the grass.
WARNING:
Always hold the lawn trimmer away from the body keep-
ing clearance between the body and the lawn trimmer.
Any contact with the lawn trimmer cutting head while
operating can result in serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 8.
This product is designed to cut small weeds, grass or
similar soft vegetation.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The lawn trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right to
left. This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid
cutting in the dangerous area shown in figure 8.
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
