■ TRIMMER HEAD USAGE
WARNING
1. Always wear eye protection such as safety goggles. Never lean over the rotating cutting head.
Rocks or other debris could be thrown into eyes and face and cause serious personal injury.
2. Keep the debris guard attached in place at all times when the unit is operated.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
• Always remember that the TIP of the line does cutting. You will achieve better results by not
crowding the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at its own pace.
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 right to the left.
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 will light growth.
4. Never swing the unit as hard as you are in danger of losing your balance or control of the unit.
5. Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather than placing the full workload on the arm and
hands.
6. 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.
