from your body. (Proper operating position shown in
figure 11.)

is the best cutting area.
Q The curved shaft trimmer cuts when passing the
unit from left to right. The straight shaft trimmer cuts
when passing the unit from right to left. This will avoid
throwing debris at the operator. Avoid cutting in the
dangerous area shown in illustration.
Q Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force line
trimmer head into uncut grass.
Q Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
may wear line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,

GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF
BLADE
See Figure 5.
The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade
on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until
it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance the
line whenever you hear the engine running faster than
normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This
will maintain best performance and keep the line long
enough to advance properly.
