TRIMMER
LINE
ADVANCE
The trimmer line will advance
approximately
2
inches
(5 cm) each time the bottom
of the
trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the
engine running at full throttle.
The most efficient line length is the maximum
length allowed by the line limiteR Always keep
the shield in place when the tool is being oper-
ated.
To advance
line:
• Operate
the engine at full throttle.
• Hold the trimmer
head parallel to and above
the grassy
area.
• Tap the bottom of the trimmer head lightly on
the ground one time. Approximately
2 inches
(5 cm) of line will be advanced with each tap.
Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy area.
Tapping on surfaces
such as concrete
or as-
phalt can cause excessive wear to the trimmer
headJf the line is worn down to 2 inches (5 cm)
or less, more than one tap will be required to ob-
tain the most efficient line length.
_]kWARNING:
use
only 0.095"
(2.4
mm) diameter
line. Other sizes of line will not
advance
properly
and can
cause
serious
injury.
Do not use other materials
such
as
wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off dur-
ing cutting and become
a dangerous
missile
that can cause serious
injury.
CUTTING
METHODS
_WARNING:
use
minimum
speed
and do not crowd the line when cutting around
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),
which can damage thetfimmer
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.

• 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.
• 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 mowingorsweeping,
usefuflthrottlefor
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 of the line to
make contact. Do not force trimmer
line into
work area.

3 inches (8 cm
above ground
SCALPING
- The scalping technique removes
unwanted vegetation
down to the ground. Hoid
the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (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
in-
creases 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
_ound as this can scalp the
ground
and dams( e the tool.

SWEEPING
- The fanning
action
of the rotat-
ing line can be used to blow away loose debris
from an area.
Keep the line parallel
to and
above
the area surface
and swing
the tool
from side to side.
