Cutting tips
Check the area you wish to cut and remove any objects that may be thrown up by the blade. Check the
safety equipment on the unit before the start of work. Start the unit. Wear the protective device, use the
harness and hold with your right hand on the operating handle. Gently push down fully on the safety
lock-off button. Always cut at full speed!
Decorative trimming
When trimming around trees, posts, fences, etc., rotate the whole unit so that the cutting head is at a 30°
angle to the ground.
Adjusting the trimming line
This unit is equipped with a bump head. Trimming line can be released from the cutting head without
stopping the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the bump knob on the ground while operating
the unit at high speed. For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or hard soil. Attempting to
release line in tall grass may stall the engine. Do not rest the cutting head on the ground while the unit is
running. Each time the bump knob is tapped, about 25.4 mm of trimming line is released.
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line
release becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets
shorter.
Maintaining the trimming line and blade
Hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, can cause the trimming line or blade to wear down quickly or break.
• Frequently check the trimming line length or blade’s surface. Replace the trimming line or blade as
needed.
• DO NOT force the unit. Make shallow cuts in as many passes as are necessary to achieve the desired
depth. Cut at a slow, even pace.
Tips for best results
To direct clippings away from the operator, tilt the cutting head slightly down to the right; whenever
possible swing the trimmer in a left to right cutting motion. There is an embossed arrow on the top of
the safety guard indicating the preferred left to right direction of trimmer operation. Do not trim wet
grass or weeds.
NOTE : Some line breakage will occur from:
• Entanglement with foreign matter;
• Normal line fatigue;
• Attempting to cut thick vegetation;
• Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts.
