Vibration. Always wear safety and anti-vibration glove.
Excessive vibration may cause white finger disease or
carpal tunnel syndrome. If you notice an unpleasant
sensation or skin discoloration during use of the
machine on your hands once you stop working. Place
an adequate work breaks. And continual and regular
users should monitor closely the condition of their hands
fingers.
WARNING
Contact with the trimmer cutting head while operating
can result in serious personal injury.
CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 6.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this
is the best cutting area.
The trimmer will cut better when moved from left to
right across the area to be cut; it is less effective when
moved from right to left.
Use the tip of the cutting line to do the cutting; do not
force cutting head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra cutting line wear,
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
may wear cutting line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
cutting line.
Attach metal knob to the rubber hole on the rear handle
when in use, unlock the metal knob when not in use.
ADVANCING CUTTING LINE
See Figure 7.
While the string trimmer is operating, the cutting line
gets worn down and becomes shorter. This trimmer
is equipped with bump feed line advancement, which
advances additional line once the head is bumped on the
ground while rotating. The cutting blade will cut the line to
keep an accurate cutting swath.
ADJUSTABLE CUTTING DIAMETER
See Figure 8.
The trimmer is currently set at a 14 in. cutting swath. To
adjust to a cutting swath of 16 in.:
Remove the battery from the string trimmer.
Remove both screws on the cut-off blade with a Phillips
screwdriver (not included).
Rotate the cut-off blade 180°.
Replace both screws in the cut-off blade.
Note:
Set the cut-off blade to 14 in. for greater runtime. Set
the cut-off blade to 16 in. for greater cutting area.
Note:
a smaller diameter cutting path will maximize run
time and cutting speed, while a larger cutting path will help
complete the trimming task quicker.
LINE CUT-OFF BLADE
See Figure 8.
This trimmer is equipped with a line cut-off blade on the
grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until it
is trimmed to length by the line cut-off blade. Advance
line whenever you hear the engine running faster than
normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This will
maintain best performance and keep line long enough to
advance properly.
