OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
USE OF BRUSHCUTTER
ATTACH-
MENT WITH TRIMMER
HEAD
WARNING:
Always wear eye
protection.
Never lean over tile trimmer
head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or
be thrown into eyes and face and
cause blindness
or other serious injury.
Before trimming, bring engine to a
speed sufficient to cut material to be
trimmed.
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. Al-
ways release the throttle trigger and
allow the engine to return to idle speed
when not cutting.
CUTTING
METHODS
,_WARNING:
Use minimum
speed
and do not crowd the line when cutting
around hard objects (rock, gravel,
fence posts, etc.), which can damage
the trimmer head, become entangled
in the line, or be thrown causing a seri-
ous hazard.
• The tip of the line does the cutting.
You will achieve the best perform-
ance and minimum
line wear by not
crowding
the line into the cutting
area. The right and wrong ways are
shown below.
