TRIMMING TIPS
• Set the throttle control in the fast posi-
tion. If the weeds or grass are tall and
thick, operate the trimmer at a slower
walking speed.
• Frequently clean the underside of the
trimmer to remove any grass build up.
Keep top of engine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air fl ow and extend
engine life. See "TO REMOVE ENGINE
COVER" in the Maintenance section of
this manual.
• For best results and longer lasting
line, use the ends of the line to do the
cutting. This is easily done by moving
slowly through very thick and heavy
weeds.
• Use the left side of trimmer when trim-
ming along fences, walls, fl owerbeds
and other such objects.
• If trimmer lines become too short, it will
take longer to complete the job. If trim-
mer lines are worn to less than half their
original length, they should be replaced.
See "TO REPLACE TRIMMER LINE" in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
• Trimmer head contact with concrete, as-
phalt or other hard surfaces may cause
premature wear of the ball on bottom of
trimmer head.
