CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
Basic cutting procedure
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
For the best cutting action against walls, fences and in high grass, move trimmer slowly so grass is cut
WITH THE TIP of the high speed nylon line.
Avoid running trimmer with hub in contact with ground. Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
NOTE: As the weather becomes cooler, the tendency for the nylon line to break becomes greater. DO
NOT USE WHEN TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50 degrees F.
Cut tall grass from top down. Hold the trimmer with your right hand on the rear handle and your left
hand on the front handle. Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip
height.
WARNING:
Always hold trimmer away from body. Any contact with the string trimmer
cutting head while operating can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not trim near electrical wires.
WARNING:
Do not operate a string trimmer in a tree, on a ladder, or on a scaffold; this is
extremely dangerous.

damage trimmer and void warranty.

The line will extend approximately 1/4 in. with each stop and start of the switch trigger until
the line reaches the length of the grass deflector blade.
