OPERATION
■ Hold the grass trimmer head at an angle of approximately 30° to the ground. Avoid pressing it
against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the product.
■ Stop the engine if the grass becomes wrapped around the trimmer head and remove the grass once
the cutting attachment has stopped rotating.
■ Extended use of the tool at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping from the muffler.
TRIMMING TIPS (See Figs. 25-26)
■ Keep the tool to the right side and away from your body to avoid making contact with the hot
surfaces (Fig. 25).
■ Keep the trimmer head lowered, towards the area being cut.
■ The curved shaft trimmer cuts best when moving the unit from right to left. Passing the tool in
this direction will reduce the amount of debris thrown towards the operator. Avoid cutting in the
dangerous area as shown (Fig. 26).
■ Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force the trimmer head into uncut grass.
■ The line can wear quickly and even break when used against solid surfaces such as fences,
borders, curbs and walls made of metal, wood, stone and brick. Avoid using the trimmer against
these materials.
ADVANCING LINE (See Fig. 27)
This trimmer uses a line advance system which requires the operator to tap or bump the trimmer head
on the grass while running the engine at full throttle.
■ Run the engine at full throttle.
■ Tap the trimmer head on the ground to advance the line. With each tap, the line advances further. A
firm but gentle motion should be used when tapping the line on the ground (Fig. 27). DO NOT keep
the trimmer head pressed against the ground.
NOTICE: The cutting blade on the underside of the debris guard will cut the line to the correct length.
NOTICE: Line that is too short may not advance using the tapping method and may need to be done
manually.
