STRIMMER / BRUSH CUTTER
WARNING
1.
2.
Always wear eye protection such as safety gog-
gles. Never lean over the rotating cutting head.
Rocks or other debris could be thrown into eyes
or face and may cause serius personal injury.
Keep the cutting attachment guard in place at all
times when the unit is operated.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
• Always remember that the TIP of the line does cut-
ting. You will achieve better results by not crowding
the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at
its own pace.
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted
about 20 degrees toward the sweep direction.

You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your
left to the right.
Use a slow movements to cut heavy growth. The
rate of the cutting motion will depend on the material
being cut. Heavy growth will require slower move-
ments than light growth.
Never swing the unit quickly/roughly as you will be in
danger of losing your balance or control of the
machine.
Try to control the cutting motion from the hip rather
than placing the full workload on the arm or hands.
Take precautions to avoid wire, grass or weeds from
wrapping around the head shaft. Such materials
can stall the head and cause the clutch to slip result-
ing in damage to the clutch system.
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
•
•
Your strimmer is equipped with a semi-auto type
nylone line head that allows the operator to increase
the line length without stopping the engine. When
the line becomes short, lightly tap the head on the
ground while running the engine on full throttle.
Each time the head is bumped, the line increases
about 1 inch (25.4mm). For better effect, tap the
head on clear ground or hard soil. Avoid bumping in
thick growth.
