Beforetrimming, bring enginetoa speedsuffi-

cient to cut material to be trimmed.

Do not run the engine at a higher speed than

necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently

when the engine is run at less than full throttle.

At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and

vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will

be less likely to “weld” onto the spool.

Always release the throttle trigger and allow

S Near objects around which the line can

wrap such as small posts, trees or fence

wire.

S For mowing or sweeping, usefull throttle for

TRIMMING -- Hold the bottom of the trimmer

head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground

and at an angle. Allow only the tip of the line to

make contact. Do not force trimmer line into

work area.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USE WITH WEED BLADE

S Blade Thrust is a reaction that only occurs

when using a bladed unit. This reaction can

cause serious injury such as amputation.

Carefully study this section. It is important that

you understand what causes blade thrust,

how you can reduce the chance of its

occurring, and how you can remain in control

of unit if blade thrust occurs.

Trimming

S WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST -- Blade

Thrust can occur when the spinning blade

contacts an object that it does not cut. This

contact causes the blade to stop for an instant

and then suddenly move or “thrust” away

from the object that was hit. The “thrusting”

reaction can be violent enough to cause the

operator to be propelled in any direction and

lose control of the unit. The uncontrolled unit

can cause serious injury if the blade contacts

the operator or others.

S WHEN BLADE THRUST OCCURS --

Blade Thrust can occur without warning if

the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is

more likely to occur in areas where it is

difficult to see the material being cut. By

using the unit properly, the occurrence of

blade thrust will be reduced and the

operator will be less likely to lose control.

3 inches (8 cm)

above ground

SCALPING -- The scalping technique removes

unwanted vegetation down to the ground. Hold

the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 inches

(8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow

the tip of the line to strike the ground around

trees, posts, monuments, etc. This technique in-

creases line wear.

Scalping

MOWING -- Your trimmer is ideal for mowing

in places conventional lawn mowers cannot

reach. In the mowing position, keep the line

parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the

head into the ground as this can scalp the

ground and damage the tool.

S Cut only grass, weeds, andwoody brush up

to 1/2 inch (1 cm) in diameter with the weed

blade. Do not let the blade contact material

S Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade is more

likely to snag and thrust.

S Cut only at full throttle. The blade will have

maximum cutting power and is less likely to

bind or stall.

S “Feed” the blade deliberately and not too

rapidly. The blade can thrust away if it is fed

too rapidly.

S Maintain good firm footing while using the

unit. Do this by planting feet firmly in a

comfortable apart position.

S Cut only from your left to your right. Cutting on

right side of the shield will throw debris away

from the operator.

S Cut while swinging the upper part of your

body from left to right.

S Use the shoulder strap and keep a firm grip

on the unit with both hands. A properly

adjusted shoulder strap will support the

weight of the unit, freeing your arms and

hands to control and guide the cutting motion.

S Keep feet comfortably spread apart and

braced for a possible sudden, rapid thrust of

unit. Do not overreach. Keep firm footing and

balance.

S As you move forward to the next area to cut,

be sure to maintain your balance and footing.
