Warning: Always wear the eye protection. 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. When operat-
ing unit, check for the following:
Wear eye protection and heavy clothing. Hold front handle with one hand and auxiliary handle with the
other hand. Keep unit below waist level. Work only from your right to your left to ensure debris is thrown
away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground (perpendicular when
edging) and not crowded into material being cut.
Warning: Make sure that line is fed out before operation. Make sure motor is up to full

B
speed before trimming.
Warning: Use only 1.65 mm diameter cutting line. Other sizes of line will not feed properly and
will result in improper cutting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other material
such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can
cause serious injury.
Step 2 – Trimming(continued)
TRIMMING
J
Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the trimmer head and guard, prevents proper discharge
of grass clippings, and could cause you to slip and fall.
Regularly remove clippings and dirt around the trimmer head with a switched off trimmer.
Work rhythmically, stand firmly with your feet apart. Cut from right to left so the trimmings will be thrown
away from the work area.
Do not move the trimmer too fast as this will result in ineffective cutting and possible damage.
Cut repeatedly from up and down in layers when the grass is very high. Keep the trimmer head at an
angle of about 30°to the ground when trimming. Avoid pressing it against the ground as this can ruin the
lawn and damage the trimmer head.
If you find that the nylon line is too short follow the instruction as in "Automatic line feed system'' or "To
manually feed the line".
NOTE: Let the cutting device do the work. Let it work at its own space, never press it into the area to be
cut.
