with both hands while in operation. Power head should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about
hip height. Always operate power head at full throttle. If debris becomes wrapped around the attachment, RELEASE
THE SWITCH TRIGGER, and remove the debris.
WARNING
Contact with the trimmer cutting head while operating
can result in serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS See Figure 6.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
The trimmer will cut better when moved from left
to right across the area to be cut; it is less effective
when moved from right to left.
Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting; do not
force cutting head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra cutting line wear,
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and
wood may wear cutting line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by
the cutting line.
Attach metal knob to the rubber hole on the rear
handle when in use, unlock the metal knob when not
in use.
ADVANCING CUTTING LINE
The trimmer is equipped with an Bump head. Bumping
the head to try to advance the line.
With the trimmer running, release the switch trigger.
Wait two seconds, and press the switch trigger.
NOTE: The cutting line will extend approximately 2mm
with each stop and start of the trigger until the cutting
line reaches the length of the grass deflector cut-off
blade.
Resume trimming
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE MANUALLY

Push the black button located on the cutting head
while pulling on cutting line to manually advance the
cutting line.
After extending new cutter line, always return the
machine to its normal operating position before
switching on.
LINE CUT-OFF BLADE See Figure 6.
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on
the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line
until it is trimmed to length by the line cut-off blade.
Advance line whenever you hear the engine running
faster than normal,or when trimming efficiency
diminishes. This will maintain best performance and
keep line long enough to advance properly.
