Safety Manual

ENGLISH

• ALWAYS follow instructions provided in

Operator’s Manual or with line head for

loading or advancing nylon line.

• ALWAYS wear gloves when handling or

reloading a line head that has been in use

- the gear case and driveshaft get very hot

and can cause burns if touched.

Applications

Nylon line heads may be used for trimming,

scything, edging, and scalping of grass and

light weeds.

Trimming - Feed the spinning line into the material to be cut. Tilt the line

head to one side to direct cutting debris away from you:

• Model GT (Curved shaft, clockwise line

head rotation) - Tilt the cutting head down

on the left side (air lter side) while cutting

to direct cutting debris away from operator.

Feed the line gradually into the material you

wish to cut, avoiding contact with fences or

other barriers.

• Model SRM/PAS/SB (Straight shaft,

counter-clockwise line head rotation) - Tilt

the cutting head down on the right side

(mufer side) while cutting to direct cutting

debris away from operator. Feed the line

gradually into the material you wish to

cut, avoiding contact with fences or other

barriers.

Scything - Swing the cutting head in a level arc,

gradually feeding the line into the material being

cut. Move forward with each arc to cut a swath.

Width of cutting swath depends on arc. Use a

larger arc for a wider swath, or a smaller arc for

a narrow swath. Keep line head tilted to direct

cutting debris forward or away from you.
