_/L WARNING: Always wear eye
protection and hearing 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 operating unit, stand as shown
and check for the following:
• Wear eye protection, hearing protec-
tion and heavy clothing.
• Hold trigger handle with right hand
and assist handle with left hand.
• Hold unit so that engine is below
waist level.
• Cut only from your left to your right to
ensure debris is thrown away from
you. Without bending over, keep line
near and parallel to the ground and
not crowded into material being cut.
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.
