Use and Care Manual

CUTTING WITH A NYLON HEAD

Line head rotates in a counter CLOCKWISE

direction.The CUT-OFF KNIFE will be on the

right side of the debris shield (See fig.11).

For nearly all cutting, it is good to tilt the line head

so that contact is made on the part of the line

circle where the line is moving away from you and

the debris shield. This results in the debris being

thrown away from you.

WARNING: The proper debris shield must be in place on the unit when nylon cutting line is used.

The cutting line can flap around if too much line is exposed. Always use the plastic debri shield

with cut-off knife when using nylon cutting heads.

WARNING: Tilting the head to the wrong side will shoot the debris TOWARDS you.If the line

head is held flat to the ground so that cutting occurs on the whole line circle, debris will be

THROWN at you, drag will slow the engine down, and you will use up a lot of line.

WARNING: Use only quality nylon monofilament line of the diameter 2.5mm. Never use wire or

wire-reinforced line in place of nylon trimmer line. Load your nylon line cutting head only with

nylon trimmer line of the proper diameter.

WARNING:Use extreme caution when operating over bare spots and gravel, because the line can

throw small rock particles at high speeds. Debris shields on the unit cannot stop objects which

bounce or ricochet off hard surfaces.

Trimming (See fig.13)

This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish

to cut .Tilt the head slowly to direct debris away from you. If

cutting up to a barrier such as fence, wall or tree,approach from

an angle where any debris ricocheting off the barrier will fly

away from you. Move the line head slowly until the grass is cut

right up the barrier, but do not jam(overfeed )the line into the

barrier. If trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked fence be

careful to feed only up to wire. If you go to far the line will

snap off around the wire. Trimming can be done to cut through

weed stems one at a time. Place the trimmer line head near the

bottom of the weed-never high up which could cause the weed

to chatter and catch the line. Rather than cut the weed right

through, just use the very end of the line to wear through the

stem slowly.
