Bump Feed Trimmer Line Feed
Your trimmer uses 0.080" (2.0 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 14" (355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.
• 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" (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.

Maintenance Treatments (Fig. J)
• Keep the air intake slots
30
clean to avoid overheating
(Fig.J).
• Your trimmer line can dry out over time. To keep your
line in top condition, store spare line in a plastic, sealable
bag with a tablespoon ofwater.
• Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and
a damprag.
• The line cutter on the edge of the guard can dull over
time. It is recommended you periodically touch-up the
sharpness of the blade with afile.
