CUTTING WITH A NYLON HEAD
WARNING / DANGER
The proper debris shield must be in place
on the unit when nylon cutting line is used,
The cutting line can ap around if too much
line is exposed. Always use the plastic de-
bris shield with cut-off knife when using
nylon cutting heads.
For nearly all cutting, it is good to tilt the line head so that contact is
made on the part of the line circle where the line is moving AWAY from
you and the debris shield. (See appropriate) This results in the debris
being thrown AWAY from you.
WARNING / DANGER
Tilting the head to the wrong side will shoot
the debris TOWARDS you. If the line head
is held at to the ground so that cutting oc-
curs on the whole line circle, debris will be
THROWN at you, drag will slow the engine
down, and you will use up a lot of line.
Use only quality nylon monolament line
of the diameter 2.5mm, Never use wire or
wire-reinforced line in place of nylon trim-
mer line. Load your nylon line cutting head
only with nylon trimmer line of the proper
diameter.
Use extreme caution when operating
over bare spots and gravel, because the
line can throw small rock particles at high
speeds. Debris shields on the unit cannot
stop objects which bounce or ricochet off
hard surfaces.
