OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 6.
Follow these steps to operate the trimmer.
1. Plug the trimmer cord into an extension cord ap-
proved for outdoor use. Refer to “Electrical Safety
Rules ” earlier in this manual.
2. Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the trigger
handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Note: Keep a firm grip with both hands during
operation.
3. Place the trimmer on the right side of your body with
the engine behind and away from your body.
4. Press the trigger to start the trimmer.
5. Trim grass and weeds in a right-to-left motion with
the line parallel to the ground.
CUTTING TIPS
Inspect and clear the area to be trimmed for any
rocks, broken glass, or wire that could be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting line.
Trim only when grass or weeds are dry.
Keep the cutting line parallel to the ground.
Cut grass or weeds over eight inches tall from the
top to the bottom in small amounts. This will prevent
grass becoming wrapped around the trimmer head
assembly, which may result in damage due to
overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the
trimmer head assembly, stop the trimmer, unplug it,
and remove the grass.
Move the trimmer slowly in and out of the area you
are cutting, keeping the trimmer at the desired
cutting height.
Use the tip of the line to do the cutting. Do not force
the trimmer head assembly into uncut grass.
Feed out some line after each use to prevent the line
from retracting into the cutting head.
OPERATION
Fig. 5
The tip of the cutting line will wear during use; this
reduces the cutting swath. If the line is not advanced
occasionally, it will wear down to the eyelet. When
the trimmer stops, the line tends to relax and may
retract into the trimmer head assembly. Should this
occur, unplug the trimmer, remove the spool, refeed
the line through the eyelets, and reassemble the
spool.
Avoid hitting objects with the line, such as chain-link
fences or concrete, as this causes rapid wear.
Never drag the trimmer head assembly on the
ground while trimming.
