OPERATING POSITION

ALWAYS WEAR:
Long Pants
Heavy Shoes
Cut from your right to your left.
WARNING:
tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.
Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into
eyes and face and cause blindness or other
serious injury.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed than
necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently
when the engine is run at less than full throttle.
At lower speeds, there is less engine noise
and vibration. The cutting line will last longer
and will be less likely to "weld" onto the spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to return to idle speed when not
cutting.
To stop engine:
S Release the throttle trigger.
S Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF posi-
tion.

TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

The cutting head advances line automati-
cally. Do not tap head on the ground to ad-
vance line. This may break parts and cause
cutting head to malfunction.
Upon unit start up, the line will advance auto-
matically to the correct cutting path length.
Always keep the shield in place when the tool
is being operated.
WARNING:
diameter round line. Other sizes and
shapes of line will not advance properly and
will result in improper cutting head function or
