m_, WARNING:
Always wear eye pro-
tection. 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 operating

and check for the following:
• Wear eye protection
and heavy
clothing.
• Hold trigger handle with right hand
and assist handle with left hand.
• Keep unit below waist level.
• Cut 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 (per-
pendicular when edging) and not
crowded into material being cut.

WARNING:
Use only 0.080 inch
(2 mm) diameter line. Other sizes of
line will result in improper
cutting head
function
or can cause serious injury.
Do not use other materials
such as
wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break
off during cutting and become a dan-
gerous missile that can cause serious
injury. See page 2 for warning con-
cerning other cutting devices.

EDGING
POSITION
You can press this button and twist
the lower portion
180" counterclock-
wise into an edging position.
EDGING
While edging allow tile tip of the line to
make contact.
Do not force the line.
The edge guard helps protect the unit
and keeps the unit from contacting
the
ground.
Take extra caution while edg-
ing as objects can be thrown from the
trimmer line.
SCALPING
The scalping technique
removes un-
wanted
vegetation.
Hold the bottom of
the trimmer head about 3 inches (8
cm) above the ground and at an an-
gle. Allow the tip of the line to strike
the ground around trees, posts, monu-
ments, etc. This technique
increases
line wear.
Scalping
MOWING
Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in
places conventional
lawn mowers
cannot reach. In the mowing
position,
keep the line parallel to the ground.
Avoid pressing
the head into the
ground as this can scalp the ground
and damage the tool.
