OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Tips for best trimming results
WARNING
• To avoid serious personal injury, wear goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating
this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations. Wear proper clothing and
footwear during operation to reduce the risk of injury that may be caused by flying debris.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass,
nails, wire, or string that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment. Clear
the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and
pets at least 100 ft. (30.5 m) away; there still may be risk to bystanders from thrown objects.
• Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the
motor and cutting attachment immediately.
• The correct angle for the cutting attachment is parallel to the ground.
• This string trimmer allows you to rest the bump head (G) on the ground for more comfortable
operation.
• Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of the line to do the cutting (especially along
walls). Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may overload the
motor.
• The cutting height is determined by the distance of the cutting line from the lawn surface.
• Grass over 8 in. (200 mm) should be cut by working from top to the bottom in small
increments to avoid premature line wear or motor drag.
• Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area being cut, maintaining the cutting head
position at the desired cutting height. This movement can be either a forward-backward
motion or a side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces best results.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
• Wire and picket fences can cause extra string wear or breakage. Stone and brick walls,
curbs, and wood may wear strings rapidly.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be
damaged by the strings.
Adjusting Cutting Line Length (Fig 8b)
The trimmer head allows the operator to release
more cutting line without stopping the motor.
As line becomes frayed or worn, additional line can
be released by lightly tapping the bump head (G)
on the ground while operating the trimmer.
For best results, tap the bump head on bare
ground or hard soil. If line release is attempted in
tall grass, the motor may overheat.
Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line
release becomes more difficult as the cutting line
becomes shorter.
