NOTE: Do not rest the Bump Head™ on the ground while the unit is running. Some line breakage will occur from: • Entanglement with foreign matter • Normal line fatigue • Attempting to cut thick, stalky weeds • Forcing the line into objects such as walls or fence posts or alter CAUTION: Do not remove blade the line cutting assembly. Excessive line length will make the clutch overheat. This may lead to serious personal injury or damage to the unit. WARNING: Before operating the unit, stand in the operating position (Fig. Check for the following: • The operator is wearing eye protection and proper clothing • With a slightly-bent right arm, the operator’s 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 TB75SS TB25CS TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS • • 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) 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. € Trim only when grass and weeds are dry. € The life of your cutting line is dependent upon: • Following the trimming techniques • What vegetation is being cut • Where vegetation is cut For example, the line will wear faster when trimming against a foundation wall as opposed to trimming around a tree. 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 (Fig. 13) while operating the trimmer at high speed. NOTE: Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the cutting line gets shorter.
