Always tap the trimmer head o na grassy
area. Tapping onsurfaces such a s concrete
orasphalt can cause excessive wear tothe
trimmer head.
Ifthe line i sworn down to2inches (5 cm) or
less, more than o ne t ap w ill be required to ob-
tain the most efficient line l ength.
WARNING:
Use only 0.080" (2 mm)
diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad-
vance properly and will result in improper cut-
ting head function or can cause serious injury.
Do not use other materials such as wire,
string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during
cutting and become a dangerous missile that
can cause serious injury.
CUTTING METHODS
d=BWARNINu: 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 line does Line crowded into

Right
• The line will easily remove grass and
weeds from around walls, fences, trees and
flower beds, but it also can cut the tender
bark of trees or shrubs and scar fences. To
help avoid damage especially to delicate
vegetation or trees with tender bark,
shorten line to 4-5 inches (10-13 cm) and
use at less than full throttle.
• 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.
• For mowing or sweeping, use full throttle for
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 ofthe line to
make contact. Do not force trimmer line into
work area.

SCALPING - The scalping technique re-
moves unwanted vegetationdown to the
ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head
about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and
at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the
ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc.
This technique increases line wear.
Scalping
MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for mowing
in places conventional lawn mowers cannot
reach. In the mowing position, keep the line
parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the
head into the ground as this can scalp the
ground and damage the tool.

SWEEPING - The fanning action of the rotat-
ing line can be used for a quick and easy
clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above
the surfaces being swept and move the tool
from side to side.
