HOLDING THE UNIT
WARNING:
Always wear eye, hearing, hand, foot and body
protection to reduce the risk of injury when operating
this unit. Keep all parts of your body away from the
rotating cutting attachment and hot surfaces.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, avoid arm contact
with the engine while operating the unit. The engine
may be extremely hot.
• Stand in the operating position (Fig. 11). Stand up
straight. Do not bend over.
• Keep feet apart and firmly planted.
• Hold the shaft grip with the right hand. Keep the right
arm slightly bent.
• Hold the handle with the left hand. Keep the left arm
straight.
• Hold the unit at waist level.
• Position the cutting head a few inches above the
ground.
• Do not over-reach; Keep all parts of your body away
from the rotating cutting attachment and hot surfaces.
• To direct clippings away from you, whenever possible
swing the trimmer in a left to right cutting motion.
There is an embossed arrow on the top of the safety
guard indicating the preferred left to right direction of
trimmer operation.
DECORATIVE TRIMMING
When trimming around trees, posts, fences, etc., rotate
the whole unit so that the cutting head is at a 30° angle
to the ground (Fig. 12).
Maintaining the Trimming Line
Hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, can cause the
trimming line to wear down quickly or break.
• Frequently check the trimming line length. Replace
the trimming line as needed. Refer to Replacing the
Trimming Line.
• DO NOT force the unit. Make shallow cuts in as many
passes as are necessary to achieve the desired
depth. Cut at a slow, even pace.
TRIMMING TIPS
• Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool away
from your body.
• Cut all grass from top to down. This will prevent grass
from wrapping around the shaft housing and string
head which could cause damage from overheating.
• If grass becomes wrapped around the string head,
STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire,
and remove the grass.
• Use the tip of line to trim grass; do not force string
head into uncut grass.
• Avoid trees, flowers, stones, walls and other objects
which can cause the line to break.
• Check and feed the line regularly to maintain full
cutting width and performance.

OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE TRIMMING LINE
This unit is equipped with a bump head. Trimming line
can be released from the cutting head without stopping
the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the bump
knob on the ground (Fig. 13) while operating the unit at
high speed. For best results, tap the bump knob on bare
ground or hard soil. Attempting to release line in tall
grass may stall the engine.
NOTE: Do not rest the cutting head on the ground while
the unit is running.
Each time the bump knob is tapped, about 1 inch (25.4
mm) of trimming line is released.
NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended.
Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting
line gets shorter.
