and decks when using with trimmer line
LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figures 4 - 5.
WARNING:
The line cut-off blade on the grass deflector is sharp.
Avoid contact with the blade. Failure to avoid contact
can result in serious personal injury.
The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade
on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it
is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance the line
whenever you hear the motor running faster than normal,
or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will maintain
best performance and keep the line long enough to advance
properly.
This trimmer is currently set at the 15 in. cutting swath. To
adjust to a cutting swath of 13 in.:
Stop the motor or disconnect from the power supply.
Remove the blade screws then rotate the line cut-off
blade 180°.
NOTE: Wear gloves when working with the cut-off blade.
Reinstall the blade screws and tighten securely.
OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 6.
WARNING:
The motor housing on power heads may become hot
during trimmer operation. Do not rest or place your arm,
hand, or any body part against the motor housing dur-
ing trimmer operation. Only hold the trimmer as shown
in figure 6, with all body parts clear of motor housing.
Extended contact with the motor housing can result in
burns or other injuries.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Always position the unit on the operator’s right side. The
use of the unit on the operator’s left side will expose the
user to hot surfaces and can result in possible burn injury.
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with
the bottom of the motor above waist level.
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.
Always operate trimmer with the switch trigger fully pressed.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which may
cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped
around the string head, STOP THE MOTOR, remove the
battery pack for cordless power heads, or disconnect the
plug from the power source for electric power heads, and
remove the grass.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keep-
ing clearance between the body and the product. Any
contact with the housing or string trimmer cutting head
can result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 6-7.
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away from
your body. (Proper operating positions shown in figure 6.)
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from left to right.
This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cut-
ting in the dangerous area shown in figure 7.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear and break-
age. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, sid-
ing, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line.
Do not attempt to touch or stop moving accessory. Coast-
ing line can cause injury.
