TRIMMER HEAD USAGE
WARNING
1.
Always wear eye protection such as safety
goggles. Never lean over the rotating cutting
head. Rocks or other debris could be thrown into
eyes and face and cause serious personal injury.
2.
Keep the debris guard attached in place at all
times when the unit is operated.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
•
Always remember that the TIP of the line
does cutting. You will achieve better results by not
crowding the line into the cutting area. Allow the
unit to trim at its own pace.
1.
Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and
is tilted about 20 degrees toward the sweep
direction. (OP6)
2.
You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from
your right to the left.
3.
Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy
growth. The rate of cutting motion will depend on
the material being cut. Heavy growth will require
slower action than will light growth.
4.
Never swing the unit so hard as you are in
danger of losing your balance or control of the
unit.
5.
Try to control the cutting motion with the hip
rather than placing the full workload on the arm
and hands.
6.
Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead,
dry, long-stem weeds from wrapping around the
head shaft. Such materials can stall the head and
cause the clutch to slip, resulting in damage to the
clutch system if repeated frequently.
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
•
Your brush cutters is equipped with a semi-
auto type nylon line head that allows the operator
to advance the line without stopping the engine.
When the line becomes short, lightly tap the head
on the ground while running the engine at full
throttle.
•
Each time the head is bumped, the line
advance about 1 inch (25.4 mm). For better effect,
tap the head on bear ground or hard soil. Avoid
bumping in thick, tall grass as the engine may stall
by overload.
