OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Tips for best trimming results
• The correct angle for the cutting attachment is parallel to the ground.
• Do not force the trimmer. Allow the very tip of the line to do the cutting (especially along
walls). Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting efciency and may overload the
motor.
• The cutting height is determined by the distance of the cutting line from the lawn surface.
• Grass over 8 in. (20 cm) should be cut by working from top to the bottom in small increments
to avoid premature line wear or motor drag.
• Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the area being cut, maintaining the cutting head
position at the desired cutting height. This movement can be either a forward-backward
motion or a side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter lengths produces best results.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
• Wire and picket fences can cause extra string wear or breakage. Stone and brick walls,
curbs, and wood may wear strings rapidly.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be
damaged by the strings.
Adjusting Cutting Line Length (Fig. 8b)
The cutting head allows the operator to release
more cutting line without stopping the motor.
As line becomes frayed or worn, additional line can
be released by lightly tapping the bump head (G)
on the ground while operating the trimmer.
For best results, tap the bump head on bare
ground or hard soil. If line release is attempted in
tall grass, the motor may overheat.
Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line
release becomes more difcult as the cutting line
becomes shorter.
