Cutting with Trimmer Head
• The tip of the line does the cutting. The line
should stay extended while cutting.
• Do not force the line into the material. Forcing
the line will cause it to slap against the material,
increasing line usage and causing poor cutting
results.
Trimming
Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 in. (7.6
cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow only the
tip of the line to make contact.
CAUTION
• Always wear gloves and protective cloth-
ing when operating the Trimmer /
Brushcutter.
