7. OPERATING ADVICE
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted
about 20 degrees toward the sweep direction.
2. You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your left to
the right.
3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth. The rate
of cutting motion will depend on the material being cut.
Heavy growth will require slower action than light growth.
4. Never swing the unit hard as you are in danger of losing
your balance or control of the unit. Try to control the cut-
ting motion with the hip rather than placing the full work-
load on the arm and hands.
5. Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead, dry, long-
stem weeds from wrapping around the head shaft. Such
materials can stall the head and cause the clutch to slip,
resulting in damage to the clutch system if repeated fre-
quently.
7. OPERATING ADVICE
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
• Your brush cutters are equipped with a semi-auto
type nylon line head that allows the operator to advance
the line without stopping the engine. When the line becomes
short, lightly tap the head on the ground while running the
engine at full throttle.
• Each time the head is bumped, the line advances
about 1 inch (25.4 mm). For better effect, tap the head
on bare ground or hard soil.
