Operation
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Objects can be thrown by the trimmer
while it is in operation.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Thrown objects could cause injury to the
operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always wear safety goggles or other
suitable eye protection, long pants and
shoes while operating trimmer.
Keep people and pets away from trimming
area.
Starting/Stopping
1.
Balance the trimmer in one hand using the
U-shaped handle. Operate the trigger release and
the switch with the other hand (Fig. 12).
2.
To operate the trigger release and switch, press
the trigger release down with the thumb and
depress the switch on the inside of the handle.
With the switch depressed, you may let go of the
trigger release and the trimmer will continue to
run. The switch must be depressed in order for
the trimmer to run.
3.
Trimmer will stop seconds after switch is
released.
Trimming Tips
Your trimmer will cut grass and small weeds in
difficult and hard to reach places. However, you will
most likely experience some line breakage during
your first few uses. As you learn the trimming
techniques, you will be able to cut areas around trees,
shrubs, foundation walls, fences, sidewalks, patios,
etc., with minimal line wear or line breakage.
1.
Inspect area to be trimmed for any wire, cord, or
string-like matter which could become entangled
in the rotating line. Also pick up any objects or
debris that could be thrown by the trimmer.
2.
Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
3.
Hold the power pack case in a position which
slightly tips cutting head down at an angle to the
grass to be trimmed as shown in Figure 14.
4.
DO NOT FORCE THE UNIT. Allow the very
tip of the nylon line to do the cutting (especially
along walls) (Fig. 13). Cutting with more than
the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and
overload the motor.
The tip of the cutting line will wear during use
and cause a reduction in the cutting swath. If the
line is not advanced occasionally, it will wear
down to the drum eyelet. When the trimmer is
stopped, the line tends to relax and may retract
into the cutter head. Should this occur, be sure
to replace the cutting line in the proper position
before restarting the trimmer (page 9, step 2D)
or the line may tangle around the drum.
5.
Grass in excess of eight inches tall or small
weeds should be cut by working from the top to
the bottom in small increments to avoid
premature line wear.
6.
Whenever possible, cut to your left. When
cutting to the left, the unit's cutting efficiency is
somewhat better since the line is contacting the
grass as soon as it leaves the guard, and the
clippings are moving away from the operator.
7.
Slowly move unit in and out of area being cut,
maintaining unit at desired cutting height. This
can be either a forward-backward or side-to-side
motion as indicated in Figures 14 & 15.
Maintain top speed for best cutting results.
8.
The life of your cutting line is dependent upon
following the preceding trimming techniques, as
well as what is being cut, and where the cutting
is being done. For example, line wears faster
when trimming against a foundation wall as
opposed to trimming around a tree.
Some line breakage will occur from moving unit
too fast, from entanglement with foreign matter,
from normal line fatigue, and from attempting to
