OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Itis recommended that the engine not be operated for longer than 1 minute at full throttle. OPERATING POSITION ES à Eye protection Cutfrom your right to Your left. À WARNING: Aiays weareye protec- tion. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks ordebris can ricochetorbe throwninto eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury. Do not run the engine at a higher speed than necessary. The cuting line will cut effcientiy when the engine is run at less than ful| throttle. Atlower speëds, there is less engine noise and vibration. The cuting line will lastlonger and will be less likely to ‘weld” onto the spool. Always release the throtle tiger and allow the engine to retum to idle speed when not cutting. To stop engine: + Release the throttle trigger. + Push and hold the STOP switch in the STOP position until the engine stops.

TRIMMER LINE ADVANCE

Thetrimmer line will advance approximately 2 inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the timmerhead is tapped on the ground with the engine running at full throttle Thé most efficient line length is the maximum length allowed by the line limiter Always keep te Shield in pace uen the to is being oper ated. To advance line: + Operate the engine at full throttie + Hold the timmer head parallel to and above the grassy area + Tap the bottom of the trimmer head lighti on the ground one time. Approximately inches (5 cm) of line will be advanced with each tap. Always tap the timmer head on à grassy area. Tapping on surfaces such as concrete or asphalt can cause excessive wear to the timmer head. Ifthe line is wom down to 2 inches (5 cm) or Less, more than one tap il e required t ob tain the most efficient line length. À WARNING: Use oniy 0.080' (2 mm) diameter line. Other sizes of line will not ad- vance properiy and will resultin improper cut: ting head function or can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become à dangerous missile that can cause serious injury. CUTTING METHODS A WARNING: Use minimum speed and do notcrowdthe line when cutting around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.), which can damage the trimmer head, become entangled in the line, or be thrown causing à serious hazard. + The tip of the line does the cutting. You will achieve the best performance and mini- mum line wear by not crowding the line into the cutting area. The right and wrong ways are shown below. Tip ofthe Line Line Crowded Into Does The Cutting | Work Area Wrong + The line will easily remove grass and weeds from aroundwalls, fences, trees and flower beds, but it also can cut te tender bark oftrees or shrubs and scar fences. To help avoid damage especially to delicate vegetation or trees with tender bark, shorten line to 4-5 inches (10-13 cm) and use atless than full throttie. For timming or scalping, use less than full throttle to increase line life and decrease head wear, especially: + During light duty cutting + Near objects around which the line can wrap such as small posts, trees or fence wire. + Formowing orsweeping, use full throttle for à good clean job. TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and atan angle. Allow only the tip ofthe line to make contact. Do not force trimmer line into work area. Trimming 3inches (8 cm} 4 above ground Î SCALPING - The scalping technique re- moves unwanted_vegetationdown to_the ground. Hold the bottom of the timmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and atan angle. Allow the tip ofthe line to strike the groundaround'rees, posts, monuments, et. his technique increases line wear.

Scalping MOWING - Your timmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the line para! to the ground. Avoid pressing re ead into the ground as this can scalp the ground and damage the tool. SWEEPING - The fanning action ofthe rotat- ing line can be used for à quick and easy clean up. Keep the line parallel to and above the surfaces being swept and move the tool from side to side Sweeping MAINTENANCE Disconnect the spark lug before performing maintenance except or carburetor adjustments. HELPFUL TIP IMPORTANT: Have all repairs other than the rec- ommended maintenance described in the instruction manual performed by an authorized service dealer. If any dealer other than an authorized service dealer performs work on the product Electrolux Home Products, nc. may notpay for repairs under war: ranty.
