the right side of the debris shield.

The proper debris shield must be in place on the unit when
nylon cutting line is used. The cutting line can ap around if too
much line is exposed. Always use the plastic debris shield with
cut-off knife when using nylon cutting heads.

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 operator and the debris shield.
This results in the debris being thrown away.

Tilting the head to the wrong side will shoot the debris forward,
towards the operator. If the line head is held at to the ground
so that cutting occurs on the whole line circle, debris will be
thrown at the operator.

Never use wire or wire-reinforced line in place of nylon
trimmer line. Load the nylon line cutting head only with nylon
trimmer line of the proper diameter.
