Trimming (Fig.J, K)
With the trimmer on, angle it and swing side to side as shown
in FigureJ.
Maintain a minimum distance of 610 mm between the guard
and your feet as shown in FigureK.

WARNING: Keep the rotating string roughly
parallel with the ground (tilted no more than 30°). This
trimmer is not an edger. DO NOT TILT the trimmer so that
the string is spinning near a right angle to the ground.
Flying debris can cause seriousinjury.
Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed
Your trimmer uses 2 mm diameter line that is spiral-shaped with
smooth round edges. Cutting line will wear faster and require
more feeding if the cutting is done along sidewalks or other
abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are beingcut.
As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due to wear.
Gently bump the trimmer on the ground while running at
normal speed and the line willfeed.
NOTE: Extending nylon line beyond the 381mm swath will
negatively affect performance, runtime, and the life of the
trimmer due to potential of damaging motor. Doing so may void
thewarranty.
Helpful Cutting Tips (Fig.M)
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string
head into uncutgrass.
• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear
stringrapidly.
• Do not allow spool cap
29
to drag on ground or
othersurfaces.
• In long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed
305 mmhigh.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the
best cuttingarea.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to
right. This will avoid throwing debris at theoperator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by thestring.
