• 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. Move either in a forward-
backward or side-to-side motion. Cutting shorter
lengths produces the best results.
• Trim only when grass and weeds are dry.
• The life of your cutting line is dependent upon:
• Following the trimming techniques previously explained
• What vegetation is 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.
DECORATIVE TRIMMING
Decorative trimming is accomplished by removing all
vegetation around trees, posts, fences and more.
Rotate the whole unit so that the cutting attachment is at
a 30° angle to the ground (Fig. 13).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 13
TIPS FOR BEST TRIMMING RESULTS
• Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
• Do not force the cutting attachment. 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 motor.
• Cut grass over 8 inches (200 mm) by working from top
to bottom in small increments to avoid premature line
wear or motor drag.

For best results, tap the bump knob on bare ground or
hard soil. If you attempt a line release in tall grass, the
motor may stop. Always keep the trimming line fully
extended. Line release becomes more difficult when the
cutting line gets shorter.
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
Do not remove or alter
the line cutting blade
assembly. Excessive line length will make the
motor overheat. This may lead to serious
personal injury or damage to the unit.
