OPERATION
Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with
both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a
comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which
could cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes
wrapped around the string head, STOP THE ENGINE, dis-
connect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass.
NOTE: When the attachment is being used on a trimmer with
a gasoline engine, always operate at full throttle. Prolonged
cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the
muffler.
WARNING:
Always hold the string trimmer away from the body keep-
ing clearance between the body and the product. Any
contact with the housing or string trimmer cutting head
can result in burns and/or other serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 5 - 6.
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away
from your body. (Proper operating position shown in
figure 5.)
� Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is
the best cutting area.
� The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from right to left.
This will avoid throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cut-
ting in the dangerous area shown in figure 6.
Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
� Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear and break-
age. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
string rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.
