Inside Back Cover FINDING MODEL NUMBER This Operator’s Manual is an important part of your new trimmer. It will help you assemble, prepare and maintain the unit for best performance. Please read and understand what it says. [. . . ] Check for the following: • The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing • With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s right hand is holding the shaft grip • The operator’s left arm is straight, the left hand holding the D-handle • The unit is at waist level • The cutting attachment is parallel to the ground and easily contacts the grass without the need to bend over NOTE: Do not rest the bump knob on the ground while the unit is running. CAUTION: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length may make the unit overheat. Some line breakage will occur from: • Entanglement with foreign matter • • • Normal line fatigue An attempt to cut thick, stalky weeds Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts Tips for Best Trimming Results • • • For best trimming results, operate unit at full throttle. Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground. Allow the tip of the line to do the cutting, especially along walls. Cutting with more than the tip will reduce cutting efficiency and may overload the engine. Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) tall by working from top to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line wear or engine drag. Cut from right to left whenever possible. Cutting to the left improves the unit's cutting efficiency. Clippings are thrown away from the operator. Slowly move the trimmer into and out of the cutting area at the desired height. € • • Figure 12 Adjusting Trimming Line Length The Bump Head™ cutting attachment allows you to release trimming line without stopping the engine. To release more line, lightly tap the cutting attachment on the ground while operating the trimmer at high speed. NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended.
