OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR:
Eye Protection
Heavy S h°_,&
Cut only from your left to your right.
WARNING: Always wear eye protec-
tion and hearing protection. Never lean over
the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can rico-
chet or be thrown into eyes and face and
cause blindness or other serious injury.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed than
necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently
when the engine is run at tess than full throttle.
At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and
vibration.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow the
engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.
To stop engine:
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
CUTTING METHODS
_k WARNING: Useminimumspeedand
do not crowd the line when cutting around
hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.),
which can damage thetrimmer 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.
