USING THE TOOL AS A LINE TRIMMER.

●

Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut. This is the best 

cutting area.

●

Cut from right to left and from the top down. This reduces the 

amount of debris thrown at the operator and reduces the risk of the 

entanglement.

NOTE. 

If grass becomes wrapped around the spool, stop the engine, and 

remove the grass. 

FEEDING THE LINE 

The line trimmer has a bump feed mechanism which releases the line without 

having to stop the engine. 

●

To release additional line, lightly tap the line trimmer spool on the 

ground while operating the unit at high speed. Never bump the spool 

head on concrete as it may crack the spool housing.

NOTE. 

Always keep the line fully extended. Line release becomes more 

difficult as the cutting line becomes shorter. Each time the line trimmer spool is 

bumped it releases approximately 2cm of line. Release the line until it strikes 

the line cutting blade. This may require several taps.

●

Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects such as glass, 

stones, concrete, fencing, wire, wood, metal, etc.

●

Never use blades near footpaths, fencing, posts, buildings or other 

immovable objects. 

The brush cutter should be used like a scythe, cutting from the right 

to the left in a broad sweeping action.

●

The blade is suited only for weeds and vines. When the blade 

becomes dull, it can be turned over to extend the life of the blade. 

Do not sharpen the blade.
