OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE WITH TRIMMER HEAD
Bring the engine to cutting speed be-
fore entering the material to be cut.
Do not run engine at a higher speed
than necessary. The cutting line will cut
efficiently when the engine is run at less
than full throttle. At lower speeds, there
is less engine noise and vibration. The
cutting line will last longer and will be
less likely to "weld" onto the spool.
If the trimmer head does not turn when
the engine is in operation,
make sure
the drive shaft housing is properly
seated in engine shroud.
Always release the throttle trigger and
allow the engine to return to idle speed
when not cutting.
To stop engine:
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Push and hold down the momentary
switch until the engine has stopped
completely.
ADVANCING
THE TRIMMER
LINE
The trimmer line will advance approxi-
mately 2 in. (5 cm) each time bottom of
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 operated.
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. Ap-
proximately 2 in. (5 cm) of line will be
advanced with each tap. A blade on
the shield will cut the line to the cor-
rect length.
Always tap the trimmer head on a
grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such
as concrete or asphalt can cause ex-
cessive wear to the trimmer head.
If the line is wom down to 2 in. (5 cm) or
less, more than one tap will be required
to obtain the most efficient line length.
WARNING:
Use only .080" (2 mm)
diameter line. Other sizes of line will
not advance properly and can cause
serious injury. Do not use other materi-
als such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire
can break off during cutting and be-
come a dangerous
missile that can
cause serious injury.
CUTTING
METHODS
WARNING:
Use minimum speed and
do not crowd the Finewhen cutting
around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence
posts, etc.), which can damage the trim-
mer head, become entangled in the Fine,
or be thrown causing a serious hazard.
• The tip of the line does the cutting.
You will achieve best performance and
minimum 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. To help avoid dam-
age especially to delicate vegetation
or trees with tender bark, shorten line
to 4-5 in. (10-13 cm) and use at less
than full throttle.
• 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.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protec-
tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.
Rocks or debris can ricochet or be
thrown into eyes and face and cause
blindness or other serious injury.
