• Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage.
Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear string rapidly.
• Do not allow spool cap to drag on ground or other surfaces.
• In long growth, cut from the top down and do not exceed
12 inches (304.8 mm) high.
• Keep trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best
cutting area.
• The trimmer cuts when passing the unit from the left to right. This
will avoid throwing debris at the operator.
• Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and
fence posts can easily be damaged by the string.

WARNING: Keep the rotating string roughly parallel
with the ground (tilted no more than 30 degrees). This trimmer is not
an edger. DO NOT TILT the trimmer so that the string is spinning near
a right angle to the ground. Flying debris can cause serious injury.
Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed
Your trimmer uses 0.080 inches (2.032 mm) diameter nylon line.
Cutting line will wear faster and require more feeding if the cutting is
done along sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces or heavier weeds are
being cut.
As you use the trimmer, the string will get shorter due to wear. Gently
bump the trimmer on the ground while running at normal speed and
the line will feed.
NOTE: Extending nylon line beyond the 13 inch (330 mm) swath will
negatively affect performance, runtime, and the life of the trimmer due to
potential of damaging motor. Doing so may void the warranty.
Helpful Cutting Tips
• Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force string head
into uncut grass.
