CORRECT OPERATING POSITION
i
_ WARNING: Always wear eye
protection. 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.
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 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 line lim-
iter 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 the bottom of the trimmer head
about 3 inches (8 cm) above the
ground and at an angle. Allow only the
tip of the line to make contact. Do not
force trimmer line into work area.

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