TRIMMER
LINE ADVANCE
The cutting
head advances
line au-
tomatically.
Do not tap head on the
ground to advance
line. This may
break parts and cause cutting head to
malfunction.
Upon unit start up, the line will ad-
vance automatically
to the correct cut-
ting path length.
Always keep the shield in place when
the tool is being operated.
WARNING:
Use only 0.080
inch (2 mm) diameter
round line.
Other sizes and shapes
of line will not
advance
properly and will result in im-
proper cutting 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
_WARNING:
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 perform-
ance and minimum
line wear by not
crowding
the line into the cutting
area. The right and wrong ways are
shown below.

Work Area
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.
• 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. Al-
low only the tip of the line to make
contact.
Do not force trimmer line into
work area.

SCALPING
- The scalping technique
removes unwanted
vegetation
down
to the ground. Hold 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
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.
