OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING POSITION
ALWAYS WEAR: _ Eye Protection
Cut from your dghtI left.
Do not run the engine at a higher speed
than necessa_,. The cutting line w_ cut
efficiently when the engine is run at less
than full throttle.At lower speeds, there
is less engine noise and vlbralion.The
cuttingline will last longer and will be
less likely to "weld" ontothe spool.
Always release the throttle trigger and
allow the engine to return to idle speed
when notcutting.
To stop engine:
• Release the throttle trigger.
• Push and hold the engine stop
switch in the STOP or OFF position
until the unit has fully stopped.
TWIST-N-EDGE
• Pull the tab toward the engine.
• Twist the tube to the edging position.;
release tab.
TRIMMER UNE ADVANCE
Trimmer line will advance approxi-
mately 2 in. (5 cm) each time bottom of
tdmmer head is tapped on the ground
with engine running at full throttle.
The most efficientline length is the
maximum length allowedby line limiter.
Always keep the shield in place when
the tool is being operated;
To Advance Line:
° Operate the engine at full throttle.
 • Holdthe trimmerhead parallelto and
abovethe grassyarea.
• Tapthe bottomof the trimmerhead
lightlyon the groundone time.Ap-
proximately2 in. (5 cm) of linewillbe
advancedwitheachtap.
Toadvance line,tap bottomoftrimmer
headon groundonetime.
Always tap the trimmer head on a
grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such
as concrete or asphalt can cause ex-
cessive wear to the trimmer head.
If line is worn down to 2 in. (5 cm) or
less, more than one tap will be required
to obtain the most officiantline length.
WARNING" Use only .080" (2 ram)
diameter line. Other sizes o! line will
not advance properly and can cause
serious injury. Do not use other materi-
als such as wire, String, rope, etc. Wire
can break off during cutting and be-
come a dangerous missile that can
cause serious injury.
CUTTING METHODS
WARNING: Use minimum speed and
do not crowd the line when cutting
around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence
posts, etc.), which can damage the trim-
mer head, become entan_ed in the line,
or be thrown causing a serious hazard,
* The tip of the line does the curing.
You will achieve the best performance
and minimum line wear by notcrowd-
ing the line into cuttingarea. The right
and wrong ways are shown below.
Tip ofthe Une LineCrowdedInto
DoesTheCutting WorkArea
Right
* The line will easily remove grass and
weeds from around walls, fences,
trees and flower beds, but it also can
cut the tender bark of trees or shrubs
and scar fences. To help avoid dam-
age especially to delicate vegetation
or trees with tender bark, shorten line
to 4-5 in. (10-13 cm) and use at less
than full throttle.
• For trimming or scalping, use less
than full throttle to increase line life
and decrease head wear, especially:
• During light duty cutting,
• Near objects around which the line
can wrap such as small posts,
trees or fence wire.
° For mowing or sweeping, use full
throttle for a good clean job.
WARNING: Always wear eye protec-
tion. Never teen over the trimmer head.
Rocks or debris can ricochet or be
thrown into eyes and face and cause
blindness or other serious injury.
TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the

SCALPING - The scalping technique
removes unwanted vegetation. Hold
the bottom of the trimmer head about 3
in. (8 cm) above the ground and at an
angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike
the ground around trees, posts, monu-
ments, etc. This technique increases
line wear.

MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for
mowing in places conventional lawn
mowers cannot reach. In the mowing
