INSTRUCTIONS 

6.1 

Additional safety precautions 

Before operating your unit, review ALL SAFETY 
PRECAUTIONS in this manual. 

Warning / Caution 

1. 

IF UNFAMILIAR WITH TRIMMING

 techniques, 

practice the procedures with ENGINE in “OFF” 
position. 

2. 

ALWAYS CLEAR WORK

 area of debris such as 

cans, bottles, rocks, etc. Striking objects can 
cause serious injury to operator or bystanders 
and also damage equipment. If an object is acci-
dentally hit, immediately 

TURN ENGINE OFF

 and 

examine equipment. Never operate unit with 
damaged or defective equipment. 

3. 

ALWAYS TRIM OR CUT AT HIGH ENGINE 
SPEEDS

. Do not run engine slowly at start or dur-

ing trimming operations. 

4. 

DO NOT

 use equipment for purposes other than 

trimming or mowing weeds. 

5. 

NEVER

 raise stringhead above knee height dur-

ing operation. 

6. 

DO NOT

 operate unit with other people or ani-

mals in the immediate vicinity. Allow a minimum 
of 50 feet (15 meters) between operator and other 
people and animals when trimming or mowing. Al-
low a distance of 100 feet (30 meters) between 
operator and other people and animals when 

SCALPING

 with stringhead cutter.  

7. 

IF OPERATING UNIT ON A SLOPE

, stand below 

the cutting attachment. 

DO NOT OPERATE

 on a 

slope or hilly incline if there is the slightest chance 
of slipping or losing your footing. 

6.2 

Stringhead line release 

DO NOT use steel wire or plastic-coated steel 
wire of any kind with your stringhead. Serious 
operator injury can result. 

To release fresh line, run engine at full throttle and 
“bump” stringhead against lawn. Line will automatically 
release. The knife in debris shield will trim excess line. 

Periodically remove weed wrap to prevent 
overheating the drive shaft. Weed wrap oc-
curs when strands of weed become entangled 
around the shaft beneath the debris shield. 
This condition prevents the shaft from being 
properly cooled. Remove weed wrap with 
screwdriver or similar. 

6.3 Trimming 

procedures 

When properly equipped with a debris shield and 
stringhead, your unit will trim unsightly weeds and tall 
grass in those hard-to-reach areas - along fences, 
walls, foundations and around trees. It can also be 
used for scalping to remove vegetation down to the 
ground for easier preparation of a garden or to clean 
out a particular area. 

NOTE

: Even with care, trimming around foundations, 

brick or stone walls, curves, etc., will result in above 
normal string wear. 

TRIMMING / MOWING 

Swing trimmer with a sickle-like motion from side to 
side. Do not tilt the stringhead during the procedure. 
Test area to be trimmed for proper cutting height. Keep 
stringhead at same level for even depth of cut. 

CLOSER TRIMMING 

Position trimmer straight ahead with a slight tilt so bot-
tom of stringhead is above ground level and string 
contact occurs at proper cutting point. Always cut away 
from operator. Do not pull trimmer in toward operator 

FENCE / FOUNDATION TRIMMING 

Approach trimming around chain link fences, picket 
fences, rock walls and foundations slowly to cut close 
without whipping string against the barrier. If the string 
comes in contact with rock, brick walls, or foundations, 
it will break or fray. If string snags fencing, it will snap 
off. 

TRIMMING AROUND TREES 

Trim around tree trunks with a slow approach so string 
does not contact bark. Walk around the tree trimming 
from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip 
of the string and tilt stringhead slightly forward.. 

Use extreme caution when SCALPING. Keep 
a distance of 100 feet (30 meters) between 
operator, other people and animals during 
these operations 

SCALPING 

Scalping refers to removal of all vegetation down to the 
ground. To do this, tilt the stringhead to about a 30 
degree angle to the left. By adjusting the handle you 
will have better control during this operation. Do not 
attempt this procedure if there is any chance flying 
debris could injure operator, other people or cause 
damage to property 

6.4 

Cutting with blades 

Whenever you are cutting with a blade you must wear 
eye protection and protective clothing. Always use the 
shoulder strap when working with the blade. 

Before you use this machine with a blade, 
check that it has been fitted correctly. Follow 
all the instructions according “Safety instruc-
tions for undergrowth/grass cutting blades”.
