Trimming Edging
_WARNING: Always wear eye
protection. Never lean over the trim-
mer head. Rocks or debris can rico-
chet or be thrown into eyes and face
and cause blindness or other serious
injury.
When operating unit, stand as shown
and check for the following:
• Wear eye protection and heavy
clothing.
• Hold trigger handle with right hand
and assist handle with left hand.
• Keep unit below waist level.
• Cut only from your right to your left
to ensure debris is thrown away
from you. Without bending over,
keep line near and parallel to the
ground (perpendicular when edging)
and not crowded into material being
cut.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE
Advance line by tapping bottom of cut-
ting head lightly on the ground while
unit is running at full speed. A metal
blade attached to the shield will cut
the line to the proper length.
_WARNING: Use only 0.065 inch
(1.65 mm) diameter line. Other sizes of
line will not advance properly and will
result in improper cutting head function
or can cause serious injury. Do not use
other materials such as wire, string,
rope, etc. Wire can break off during cut-
ting and become a dangerous missile
that can cause serious injury. See page
2 for warning concerning other cutting
devices.
TRIMMING
Hold tile bottom of tile trimmer head
about 3 inches (8 cm) above the

EDGING
While edging allow tile tip of the line to
make contact. Do not force the line.
The edge guard helps protect the unit

ground. Take extra caution while edg-
ing as objects can be thrown from the
trimmer line.

SCALPING
The scalping technique removes un-
wanted vegetation. Hold the bottom of
the trimmer head about 3 inches (8
cm) above the ground and at an an-
gle. Allow the tip of the line to strike
the ground around trees, posts, monu-
ments, etc. This technique increases
line wear.
