Trimming operation
Nylon line cutting head rotates anticlockwise.
The knife will be on the left side of the shield.
1. Debris
2. Cut on this side
Do not trim near cars or pedestrians.
Line pushed into wire fencing will snap off.
Avoid wire
For nearly all cutting, it is good to tilt the nylon line cutting head
so that contact is made on the part of line circle where the line is
moving away from you and the shield (See appropriate picture).
This results in the debris being thrown away from you.
Tilting the head to the wrong side will shoot the debris toward
you. If the nylon line cutting head is held flat to the ground so that
cutting occurs on the whole line circle, debris will be thrown at
you, drag will slow the engine, and you will use up a lot of line.
Always wear proper eye protection against thrown objects.
Objects can bounce up at you from the ground under the shield,
or ricochet off any nearby hard surface.
Do not trim at high speed near roadways when there is traffic, or
in places where there are pedestrians. If you must trim where
people are in the zone of risk use a much lower or reduced
speed, by using a partial trigger setting. Do not use full throttle.
Do not push the line into tough weeds, trees, or wire fences.
Pushing the line into chicken wire, chain link fencing or thick
brush can result in snapped-off line ends being hurled back at the
operator. The proper way is to cut right up to a barrier, such as
any of those mentioned, but never run the line into or through the
obstruction. Do not cut closely to obstruction or barrier.
Avoid nylon line contact with broken wire fencing. Pieces of wire
broken off by the trimmer can be hurled at high speeds.
