OPERATION
WARNING:
Don not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is suffcient to inflict severe injury.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear,
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs,
and wood may wear line rapidly. Walk around
trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood
mouldings, siding, and fence posts can easily
be damaged by the line.
Keep the string trimmer tilted toward the area
being cut. To trim around trees, posts,
fences, etc., keep the string trimmer at a 30-
degree angle.
See Figure 11.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts can
create a hazard or cause product damage.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove
dirt, oil, grease, etc.
Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects such as rocks, broken
glass, nails wire, or string which can be thrown
or become entangled in the string head.
Keep the string trimmer tilted toward the
area being cut. Aviod digging into glass.
Slowly move the string trimmer in and out of
the area being cut.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting - do not
force string head into uncut grass.
Cut tall grass from the top down. This will
prevent grass from wrapping around the
string head that may cause damage from
overheating. If grass or other debris becomes
wrapped around the string head, STOP THE
MOTOR by releasing the trigger and allow the
string head to stop spinning. Remove the battery
pack and then remove the grass or debris.
