CUTTING TECHNIQUE - TRIMMER LINE
■ Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away
from your body. (Correct operating position shown in
figure 8).
■ Keep the brush cutter/line trimmer tilted toward the
area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
■ The brush cutter/line trimmer cuts when passing the
unit from right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at
the operator. Avoid cutting in dangerous areas.
■ Use the tip of the line to do the cutting; do not force
string head into uncut grass.
■ Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood
may wear line rapidly.
■ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings,
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the
line.
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUT-OFF
BLADE
See Figure 10.
The trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade
on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance line until
it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance the
line whenever you hear the engine running faster than
normal, or when trimming efficiency diminishes. This
will maintain best performance and keep the line long
enough to advance correctly.
