HELPFUL CUTTING TIPS
 •Use the tip of the string to do the cutting;donotforcestring
headintouncutgrass.Useedgeguidealongsuchthingsas
fences,housesandflowerbedsforbestpractices.
 •Wireandpicketfencescauseextrastringwear,evenbreakage.
Stoneandbrickwalls,curbs,andwoodmaywearstringrapidly.
 •Donotallowspoolcaptodragongroundorothersurfaces.
 •Inlonggrowthcutfromthetopdownanddonotexceed12
inches(304.8mm)high.
 •Keeptrimmertiltedtowardtheareabeingcut;thisisthebest
cuttingarea.
 •Thetrimmercutswhenpassingtheunitfromtherighttoleft.
Thiswillavoidthrowingdebrisattheoperator.

fencepostscaneasilybedamagedbythestring.
CUTTING LINE / LINE FEEDING
Yourtrimmeruses.065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter, ROUND
nylon line.Duringuse,thetipsofthenylonlineswillbecome
frayedandwornandthespecialselffeedingspoolwill
automaticallyfeedandtrimafreshlengthofline.DO NOT BUMP
unitongroundinattempttofeedlineorforanyotherpurposes.
Cuttinglinewillwearfasterandrequiremorefeedingifthe
cuttingoredgingisdonealongsidewalksorotherabrasive
surfacesorheavierweedsarebeingcut.
