OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that the engine not be
operated for longer than 1 minute at full
throttle.
OPERATING POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR:
_ Bye Protection
Long Pants J"_['._
Heavy Shoe_
Cut from your nght to your left.
WARN IN G : 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.
Do not run the 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 wilt be less likely to "weld" onto the spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to return to idle speed when not
cutting.
To stop engine:
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE
Thetrimmer line will advance approximately 2
inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the
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.
• Hotd the trimmer head parallel to and above
the grassy area.
• Tap the bottom of the trimmer head lightly on
the ground one time. Approximately 2 inches
(5 cm) of line will be advanced with each tap.
Always tap the trimmer head on a grassy
area. Tapping on surfaces such as concrete
or asphalt can cause excessive wear to the
trimmer head.
If the line is worn down to 2 inches (5 cm) or
less, more than one tap will be required to ob-
tain the most efficient line length.
_, WARNING: Use only 0,080" (2 ram)
diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad-
vance properly and can cause serious injury.
Do not use other materials such as wire.
string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during
cutting and become a dangerous missile that
can cause serious injury.
