OPERATION
WARNING! Always wear the 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, check for the following:
Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. Hold front handle with one hand and auxiliary handle with the
other hand. Keep unit below waist level. Work 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.
WARNING!
Make sure that line is fed out before operation. Make sure motor is up to full speed
before trimming
WARNING! Use only 0.065" (1.65 mm) diameter cutting line. Other sizes of line will not feed
properly and will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use
other material such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous
projectile that can cause serious injury.
Flower Guard (SEE FIG. G1, G2)
Push the Flower Guard (6) out before trimming, as shown in Fig G1, G2.
Trimming (SEE FIG. H)
Trimming
Position the trimmer head as shown in Fig H for trimming.
Keep the bottom of the trimmer head just above the ground and at an angle. Allow only the tip of line to
make contact. Do not force trimmer line into work area .
AUTOMATIC LINE FEED SYSTEM
When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length of line is fed out. A ‘clattering’ noise will be heard
when the lines hit the line cutter. DO NOT BE ALARMED this is quite normal. After about 5 seconds the
line will be cut to the correct length and the noise will reduce as the motor receives full speed.
If the noise of the line being cut can’t be heard, more line will be fed out. To feed more line, it is first
necessary to allow the trimmer to stop completely, and then restart, allowing the motor to reach full
speed.
